# Evernote Rate Limits

## Overview
Evernote enforces rate limits per API key, per user, per hour. Understanding and handling these limits is essential for production integrations.

## Prerequisites
- Evernote SDK setup
- Understanding of async/await patterns
- Error handling implementation

## Instructions

### Step 1: Rate Limit Handler

### Step 2: Rate-Limited Client Wrapper

### Step 3: Batch Operations with Rate Limiting

### Step 4: Avoiding Rate Limits

### Step 5: Rate Limit Monitoring

### Step 6: Usage Example

For full implementation details and code examples, load:
`references/implementation-guide.md`

## Output
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- Request queuing to prevent bursts
- Batch processing with progress tracking
- Rate limit monitoring and statistics
- Optimized API usage patterns

## Error Handling
| Scenario | Response |
|----------|----------|
| First rate limit | Wait rateLimitDuration, retry |
| Repeated rate limits | Increase base delay, reduce batch size |
| Rate limit + other error | Handle other error first |
| Rate limit on initial sync | Request rate limit boost |
