Understand and manage Gamma API rate limits effectively. Use when hitting rate limits, optimizing API usage, or implementing request queuing systems. Trigger with phrases like "gamma rate limit", "gamma quota", "gamma 429", "gamma throttle", "gamma request limits".

Gamma Rate Limits

Overview

Understand Gamma API rate limits and implement effective strategies for high-volume usage.

Prerequisites

Active Gamma API integration
Understanding of HTTP headers
Basic queuing concepts

Rate Limit Tiers

Free	10	5	10
Pro	60	50	100
Team	200	200	500

Instructions

Step 1: Check Rate Limit Headers

const response = await gamma.presentations.list();

// Rate limit headers
const headers = response.headers;
console.log('Limit:', headers['x-ratelimit-limit']);
console.log('Remaining:', headers['x-ratelimit-remaining']);
console.log('Reset:', new Date(headers['x-ratelimit-reset'] * 1000));

Step 2: Implement Exponential Backoff

async function withBackoff<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T>,
  options = { maxRetries: 5, baseDelay: 1000 }
): Promise<T> {
  for (let attempt = 0; attempt < options.maxRetries; attempt++) {
    try {
      return await fn();
    } catch (err) {
      if (err.status !== 429 || attempt === options.maxRetries - 1) {
        throw err;
      }

      const delay = err.retryAfter
        ? err.retryAfter * 1000
        : options.baseDelay * Math.pow(2, attempt);

      console.log(`Rate limited. Retrying in ${delay}ms...`);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}

// Usage
const result = await withBackoff(() =>
  gamma.presentations.create({ title: 'My Deck', prompt: 'AI overview' })
);

Step 3: Request Queue

class RateLimitedQueue {
  private queue: Array<() => Promise<any>> = [];
  private processing = false;
  private requestsPerMinute: number;
  private interval: number;

  constructor(requestsPerMinute = 60) {
    this.requestsPerMinute = requestsPerMinute;
    this.interval = 60000 / requestsPerMinute;
  }

  async add<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      this.queue.push(async () => {
        try {
          resolve(await fn());
        } catch (err) {
          reject(err);
        }
      });
      this.process();
    });
  }

  private async process() {
    if (this.processing) return;
    this.processing = true;

    while (this.queue.length > 0) {
      const fn = this.queue.shift()!;
      await fn();
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, this.interval));
    }

    this.processing = false;
  }
}

// Usage
const queue = new RateLimitedQueue(30); // 30 req/min

const results = await Promise.all([
  queue.add(() => gamma.presentations.create({ ... })),
  queue.add(() => gamma.presentations.create({ ... })),
  queue.add(() => gamma.presentations.create({ ... })),
]);

Step 4: Monitor Usage

async function getRateLimitStatus() {
  const status = await gamma.rateLimit.status();

  return {
    limit: status.limit,
    remaining: status.remaining,
    percentUsed: ((status.limit - status.remaining) / status.limit * 100).toFixed(1),
    resetAt: new Date(status.reset * 1000),
    resetIn: Math.ceil((status.reset * 1000 - Date.now()) / 1000),
  };
}

// Usage
const status = await getRateLimitStatus();
console.log(`Used ${status.percentUsed}% of rate limit`);
console.log(`Resets in ${status.resetIn} seconds`);

Output

Rate limit aware API calls
Automatic retry with backoff
Request queuing system
Usage monitoring dashboard

Error Handling

Scenario	Strategy	Implementation
Occasional 429	Exponential backoff	`withBackoff()` wrapper
Consistent 429	Request queue	`RateLimitedQueue` class
Near limit	Preemptive throttle	Check remaining before call
Burst traffic	Token bucket	Implement token bucket algorithm
