Divide by 60: 100 ÷ 60 ≈ 1.67 requests per second. More generally, divide the rate limit by the number of seconds in the window — 1 for per-second limits, 60 for per-minute, 3 600 for per-hour, and 86 400 for per-day limits.

This calculator does the conversion automatically and also divides the result by the number of concurrent clients, so you can plan the budget each client actually has available.

Wait at least the minimum call interval between consecutive requests from each client. For example, a shared limit of 100 requests per minute with 5 concurrent clients means each client should wait at least 3 000 ms (3 seconds) between calls.

In practice, add a small buffer (10–20 %) for clock drift and network jitter. Many rate-limit schemes also allow short bursts above the sustained rate — consult the API documentation for the provider's burst policy.
