Sometimes my API throws a CORS error,
I don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes doesn't.
As per the second, it hit 230 requests, so is there any limitation on it?
If not, then what should I do?

As for CORs, this is what I have.

In some of the topics the problem was solved.

If you are unable to resolve with this information, I suggest that you post a new topic with Issue CORS in the title, or something like that.
This makes it easier to get help from Travis Bell, the administrator, who has the necessary knowledge and power to solve the problem.

As per the second, it hit 230 requests, so is there any limitation on it?

As for limitations, this is what I have.
You need to check if you have reached these limits.

Did you receive any error messages?
If so, please post the full text of the message here.

API Request Limits
First we have this information in the instructions for using the TMDb API.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/docs/rate-limiting

And Travis Bell, the Administrator, has already given us this explanation.

For API Requests:

One of our CDN providers enforces some base level rate limiting to help prevent DDOS attacks.
I believe it's a maximum of:
50 requests per second and
20 connections per IP.

See here: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/62c7c1b258361b005fd2e747?page=1#62c83b78befd91005007a0c7

For Images:

For image.tmdb.org the only thing we limit is the max number of simultaneous connections.
The limit is the same, 20.

https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/62c7c1b258361b005fd2e747

And...
Is there really no API Rate Limiting?

The original rate limiting (40 requests every 10 seconds) has indeed been been disabled since December 2019.
There are some higher overall limits that still exists to help mitigate different attacks and the like.
I believe they sit around the 50 request per second range.
