Understanding Rate Limits #

HighLevel Sync implements its own rate limiting to protect your GoHighLevel API quota:

• Burst: 100 requests per 10 seconds per location.
• Daily: 200,000 requests per day.

What Happens When Limits Are Hit #

When a rate limit is reached, the sync queue automatically pauses and waits before retrying. No data is lost — items remain in the queue.

Reducing API Usage #

• Enable contact caching to reduce lookup calls (configurable TTL: 0-86400 seconds).
• Use sync debounce for rapid events (e.g., LearnDash progress has a 15-minute debounce).
• Avoid running bulk syncs during peak hours.
• Use the Sync Preview (Pro) to estimate API call counts before syncing.

Monitoring #

Check current usage in the Dashboard or enable email notifications for rate limit alerts.
