Rate Limit Increase
Browser Rendering REST API rate limits for Cloudflare Workers Paid plans have been increased from 3 requests per second (180/min) to 10 requests per second (600/min). This change takes effect immediately with no action required to benefit from the higher limits.
Affected API Endpoints
The increased rate limits apply to all Browser Rendering REST API endpoints:
- /content - Fetch HTML
- /screenshot - Capture screenshots
- /pdf - Render PDFs
- /markdown - Extract Markdown from webpages
- /snapshot - Take webpage snapshots
- /scrape - Scrape HTML elements
- /json - Capture structured data using AI
- /links - Retrieve links from webpages
What This Means
The 3x increase in throughput enables developers to perform more browser automation tasks at scale. With higher rate limits, applications that batch process screenshots, PDFs, markdown extraction, or web scraping can operate more efficiently without hitting API throttling.
Additional Improvements Coming
Cloudflare has announced that further increases to concurrent browser and new browser limits are coming soon for developers using the Workers Bindings method. Check the Browser Rendering limits page for the latest information.
