Quotas and Limits

The CSS API imposes quotas and hard limitations on some features. The quotas and limits shown in the following table are provided solely to assist you in developing applications that use the CSS API. All quotas and limits are subject to elimination, reduction, or change at any time, without notice.

Quota policy

Don't update your products if they are unchanged. If you need to send updates to keep a product from expiring, doing so once a week is enough.

Method call quotas

The following limits are the default method call quotas for CSS Center accounts.

  • Users exceeding the per minute quota receive quota/request_rate_too_high errors.
  • Users exceeding the per day quota receive quota/daily_limit_exceeded errors.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

  • The quotas here are per-method. For example, the get method has a separate quota of calls from the update method, though the size of those quotas is the same.
  • Calls count against the quota of the affected account. For product related operations this will be the CSS Domain account, for account list operation it depends on the account the list is called on.

Here are the default limits:

Resource Method Per minute Per day
cssProductInputs All Methods 60,000 20,000,000
cssProducts All Methods 60,000 20,000,000
