Usage Limits

Rate limiting is implemented as a set of conditions to control the overall load on the resources required to deliver requests, so no one caller overwhelms the API causing performance degradation for everyone.

Default limits are currently set as below per user:

  • Quota 35,000 Requests per day

  • Rate 20 Requests per second

If these limits are reached, the request will fail with status code 429 until the end of the current period. Daily usage is reset at UTC midnight.

note

Usage limits are per environment. So calls to sandbox don't affect your usage limit on production.

M2M Limits

It is important to note that M2M access tokens must be cached on your side when retrieved.

You should reuse the same token across all of your environments when making API requests until it is due to expire, and only at that point request a new token via Auth0.

You are entitled to 10 Auth0 M2M tokens in any 24-hour period, so please ensure you have this token caching implemented correctly.
