# Refresh balance

Synchronously refresh and return the current balance for one address and asset within one chain family.
New refreshes share a project-wide rolling limit across all chain families. A request counts
toward the limit even if the refresh fails. A limit response includes the effective `max` and
`window_seconds`, with `Retry-After` when waiting can restore capacity. When `max` is zero,
refresh is prohibited and no timed retry is provided. Temporary service unavailability returns 503.

Endpoint: POST /balances/{family}/actions/refresh
