On this page we've included the various limits for the Dynamic Content APIs and general system limits.
Note that most of these limits are hard coded and cannot be changed. Generally you should not be close to these limits.

Limits when requesting unpublished content and media using the Content Delivery and Media Delivery APIs with a virtual staging environment (VSE).
Feature limit Description Content and media requests 7 requests per second with a burst (bucket fill rate) of 350 per minute This limit is enforced.
Also see API rate limits .
These limits are applied separately to each VSE in your account.
When using multiple modes (latest, timestamp and snapshot ) of VSE, the limit is shared across all VSE modes for a given VSE.
Limits are applied separately for content and media using the same VSE.
The Fresh API uses the same format of requests and responses, and is subject to the same limits, as the Content Delivery v2 API and Filter API. There are also some additional rate limits:
Feature limit Description API requests 100 requests per second. Burst limit: 200 requests per second This rate limit applies to requests to the Fresh API
Requests to the Fresh API are tracked against the API keys assigned to your hubs. Each of these API keys has a rate limit associated with it. Exceeding the rate limit will result in 429 responses from the service. When receiving a 429, your code should attempt a retry after delaying the next request with exponential back-off .
