Polymarket Overhauls CLOB Rate Limits and API Stack for Bot Developers in August 2026
Polymarket has introduced a volume-based, per-signer token bucket rate limiting system for its Central Limit Order Book, replacing its earlier simpler approach and tiering access from Standard to Elite based on trailing 30-day trading activity. The platform has fully deprecated CLOB V1, requiring all production bots to migrate to CLOB V2, which uses pUSD as collateral and follows current EIP-712 signing schemes. A key endpoint change makes order status responses paginated by default, meaning any code assuming full unpaginated replies must be updated to avoid incomplete deposit and withdrawal tracking. Collateral Return has gone live for multi-outcome markets, improving capital efficiency for market makers running combinatorial strategies. Additional updates to the official Python and TypeScript SDKs bring improved pagination, GTC order expiration support, take-profit and stop-loss primitives, and more robust retry behavior for automated trading systems.
