Yes, Cloudflare API has rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage. The rate limits depend on your plan and the API endpoint being used. You should check the Cloudflare API documentation for the current rate limits for `purge_cache` and adjust your code accordingly to avoid exceeding them. Implementing delays between requests can help.
