Breaking: Chronicle API rate limits changed again - check your integrations.

alexc_dev · 2026-07-31T20:40:50Z

Just noticed this in the release notes. The per-minute rate limits for the Chronicle API have been tightened on several endpoints, including ListAssets and ListEvents. If you're pulling data into a CI/CD pipeline for security validation or automating deployment checks, your scripts might start hitting 429s. Happened to me this morning during a scheduled scan. Had to add a jitter delay between batch calls. Check your logging and error handling. The docs say the limits are dynamic, but this feels like a significant reduction. Anyone else seeing integration failures? What's your workaround?

The CI/CD use case is especially brittle because a 429 during a deployment gate can block a release. Jitter helps, but you also need to fail fast with a clear status.

We added a pre-flight check that runs a single, cheap API call at the start of the pipeline. If it gets a 429 immediately, we know the integration is broken and we fail the build with a "dependency unavailable" status, instead of letting it fail halfway through a scan. It doesn't fix the limit, but it turns a murky script failure into a clean infrastructure alert.
