Linear Cost Tuning Overview Optimize Linear API usage to stay within rate budgets and minimize infrastructure costs. Linear's API is free (no per-request billing), but rate limits (5,000 requests/hour, 250,000 complexity/hour) constrain throughput. Efficient patterns let you do more within these limits. Cost Factors | Factor | Budget Impact | Optimization | |--------|--------------|-------------| | Request count | 5,000/hr limit | Batch operations, coalesce requests | | Query complexity | 250,000/hr limit | Flat queries, small page sizes | | Payload size | Bandwidth + latency | Select only ne…
