Microsoft Graph service-specific throttling limits

Microsoft Graph allows you to access data in multiple services, such as Outlook or Microsoft Entra ID. These services impose their own throttling limits that affect applications that use Microsoft Graph to access them.

Any request can be evaluated against multiple limits, depending on the scope of the limit (per app across all tenants, per tenant for all apps, per app per tenant, and so on), the request type (GET, POST, PATCH, and so on), and other factors. The first limit to be reached triggers throttling behavior. In addition to the service specific-limits described in the section, the following global limits apply:

Request type Per app across all tenants
Any 130,000 requests per 10 seconds

Note

The specific limits described here are subject to change.

In this section, the term tenant refers to the Microsoft 365 organization where the application is installed. This tenant can be the same as the one where the application was created in the case of a single-tenant application, or it can be different in the case of a multi-tenant application.

Assignment service limits

The following limits apply to requests on the assignment service API:

Request type Limit per app per tenant Limit per tenant for all apps
Any 500 requests per 10 seconds 1,000 requests per 10 seconds
Any 15,000 requests per 3,600 seconds 30,000 requests per 3,600 seconds
GET me/Assignment 50 requests per 10 seconds 150 requests per 10 seconds

The preceding limits apply to the following resources:

Bookings service limits

The Bookings service applies limits to each app ID and mailbox combination, specifically when a particular app accesses a particular booking mailbox. Exceeding the limit for one mailbox doesn't affect the ability of the application to access another mailbox.

Identity and access reports best practices

Microsoft Entra reporting APIs are throttled when Microsoft Entra ID receives too many calls during a given timeframe from a tenant or app. Calls might also be throttled if the service takes too long to respond. If your requests still fail with a 429 Too Many Requests error code despite applying the best practices to handle throttling, try reducing the amount of data returned. Try these approaches first:

  • Use filters to target your query to just the data you need. If you only need a certain type of event or a subset of users, for example, filter out other events using the $filter and $select query parameters to reduce the size of your response object and the risk of throttling.
  • If you need a broad set of Microsoft Entra ID reporting data, use $filter on the createdDateTime to limit the number of sign-in events you query in a single call. Then, iterate through the next timespan until you have all the records you need. For example, if you're being throttled, you can begin with a call that requests three days of data and iterate with shorter timespans until your requests are no longer throttled.

Identity and access service limits

Pattern

Throttling is based on a token bucket algorithm, which works by adding individual costs of requests. The sum of request costs is then compared against predetermined limits. Only the requests exceeding the limits are throttled. If any of the limits are exceeded, the response is 429 Too Many Requests. It's possible to receive 429 Too Many Requests responses even when the following limits aren't reached, in situations when the services are under an important load or based on data volume for a specific tenant. The following table lists existing limits.

Limit type Resource unit quota Write quota
application+tenant pair S: 3,500 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds
M: 5,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds
L: 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds
3,000 requests per 2 minutes and 30 seconds
application 150,000 ResourceUnits per 20 seconds 35,000 requests per 5 minutes
tenant Not Applicable 18,000 requests per 5 minutes

Note

The application + tenant pair limit varies based on the number of users in the tenant requests are run against. The tenant sizes are defined as follows: S - under 50 users, M - between 50 and 500 users, and L - above 500 users.

The preceding limits apply to the following resources:

The following table lists base request costs. Any requests not listed have a base cost of 1.

Operation Request Path Base Resource Unit Cost Write Cost
GET applications 2 0
GET applications/{id}/extensionProperties 2 0
GET contracts 3 0
POST directoryObjects/getByIds 5 0
GET domains/{id}/domainNameReferences 4 0

GET subscribedSkus 3 0
GET users 2 0
GET Any identity path not listed in the table 1 0
POST Any identity path not listed in the table 1 1
PATCH Any identity path not listed in the table 1 1
PUT Any identity path not listed in the table 1 1
DELETE Any identity path not listed in the table 1 1

Important

The cost of POST, PATCH, and DELETE operations on the applications request path depends on the signInAudience type. For apps where the signInAudience is AzureADMyOrg or AzureADMultipleOrgs, the cost is 70,000 requests per 5 minutes; while for apps where the signInAudience is AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount or PersonalMicrosoftAccount, the cost is 60 requests per minute.

Other factors that affect a request cost:

  • Using $select decreases cost by 1
  • Using $expand increases cost by 1
  • Using $top with a value of less than 20 decreases cost by 1
  • Creating a user in a Microsoft Entra ID B2C tenant increases cost by 4

Note

  • A request cost can never be lower than 1. Any request cost that applies to a request path starting with me/ also applies to equivalent requests starting with users/{id | userPrincipalName}/.
  • Using $select for directoryObjects/getByIds and getObjectsById will result in 2 ResourceUnits.

Additional headers

Request headers

  • x-ms-throttle-priority - If the header doesn't exist or is set to any other value, it indicates a normal request. We recommend setting priority to high only for the requests initiated by the user. This header can have one of the following values:
    • Low - Indicates the request is low priority. Throttling this request doesn't cause user-visible failures.
    • Normal - Default if no value is provided. Indicates that the request is default priority.
    • High - Indicates that the request is high priority. Throttling this request causes user-visible failures.

Note

Should requests be throttled, low priority requests will be throttled first, normal priority requests second, and high priority requests last. Using the priority request header does not change the limits.

Regular responses requests

  • x-ms-resource-unit - Indicates the resource unit used for this request. Values are positive integers.
  • x-ms-throttle-limit-percentage - Returned only when the application consumed more than 0.8 of its limit. The value ranges from 0.8 to 1.8 and is a percentage of the use of the limit. Callers can use this value to set up an alert and take action.

Throttled responses requests

  • x-ms-throttle-scope - for example, Tenant_Application/ReadWrite/9a3d526c-b3c1-4479-ba74-197b5c5751ae/0785ef7c-2d7a-4542-b048-95bcab406e0b. Indicates the scope of throttling with the following format <Scope>/<Limit>/<ApplicationId>/<TenantId|UserId|ResourceId>:
    • Scope: (string, required)
      • Tenant_Application - All requests for a particular tenant for the current application.
      • Tenant - All requests for the current tenant, regardless of the application.
      • Application - All requests for the current application.
    • Limit: (string, required)
      • Read: Read requests for the scope (GET)
      • Write: Write requests for the scope (POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE...)
      • ReadWrite: All Requests for the scope (any)
    • ApplicationId (Guid, required)
    • TenantId|UserId|ResourceId: (Guid, required)
  • x-ms-throttle-information - Indicates the reason for throttling and can have any value (string). The value is provided for diagnostics and troubleshooting purposes, some examples include:
    • CPULimitExceeded - Throttling is because the limit for cpu allocation is exceeded.
    • WriteLimitExceeded - Throttling is because the write limit is exceeded.
    • ResourceUnitLimitExceeded - Throttling is because the limit for the allocated resource unit is exceeded.

  • Outlook service limits for JSON batching

    When an app makes a JSON batch request that consists of multiple, unordered individual requests to the Outlook service, by default, Microsoft Graph sends the Outlook service up to four individual requests from the batch at a time, regardless of the target mailboxes of those requests. The Outlook service can execute these requests in parallel at any point, also irrespective of the target mailbox. Since Microsoft Graph sends only up to four requests to run in parallel, the execution of that batch stays within Outlook's concurrency limits for the same mailbox, regardless of the app used.

    Alternatively, an app can use the dependsOn property to order requests within a batch. Microsoft Graph sends the Outlook service one request from the batch at a time following the specified order, and Outlook executes each individual request in the batch sequentially.

    In other words, when targeting the same mailbox, apps that allow multiple batch requests to run in parallel can use either of the following approaches:

    • If the individual requests don't have to be ordered, have individual requests from a single batch run concurrently.
    • Use the dependsOn property to order requests in a batch, and have up to four such batch requests run concurrently.
