# Enhanced API stability with rate limiting for remote payment method creation

DateSeptember 15, 2025

FlagsUpdate

SurfacesAPI

Affected APIs[Admin GraphQL API](https://shopify.dev/changelog?api_type=admin-graphql)

The `customerPaymentMethodRemoteCreate` mutation in the Admin API now includes rate limiting to manage excessive API requests and maintain consistent performance for all merchants. This change helps ensure that no single user can overwhelm the system, thereby providing a more reliable experience for everyone.
