When a rate limit is exceeded, Paperful responds with:

Clients should retry the request using exponential backoff.

Storage

Storage is measured separately from processing credits.

Your storage allowance depends on your plan. Storage includes original papers and files generated or retained by Paperful as part of the document lifecycle.

You can view current storage usage from the console.

Increasing limits

Need more?

Enterprise workspaces can request higher limits for file sizes, processing concurrency, API throughput, storage, and other platform limits.
