According Terms of Use, API calls are limited to 15,000 per app per day.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to impose restrictions and limitations on the number and frequency of calls made by your app to the SoundCloud® API. You must not attempt to circumvent any restrictions or limitations that we impose. Presently, API calls are limited to 15,000 per app per day.

Yes, there is.

https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/terms-of-use#quotas

But it doesn't tell us the exact number:

As commented by Arsalan, here is more information:

https://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/rate-limits#errors

Rate Limits

All rate limits on the SoundCloud API are currently calculated against a client application's client id.

Global Rate Limit

We currently do not enforce any limit on the total number of calls made by a client application in aggregate.

Rate Limit on Play Requests

Effective July 1, all requests that result in access to a playable stream are subject to a limit of 15,000 requests per any 24-hour time window. Currently, this is inclusive of all requests that are made to /tracks/:id/stream.

After a previous time window has expired, a new time window starts from the first request made.

The majority of SoundCloud API rate limits are in the form of 24-hour time windows.
