The Cloudflare API has rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure service stability. These limits are based on your Cloudflare plan and the endpoint you're accessing. You should check the API response headers for rate limit information (e.g., `X-RateLimit-Limit`, `X-RateLimit-Remaining`, `X-RateLimit-Reset`). Implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle rate limiting gracefully.
