If you use Digital Experience APIs, be aware of the throttling limits:
Throttling limits protect you from other CXone clients' mistakes and also from your own potential mistakes. The goal is to protect infrastructure from unintentional (or intentional) DDOS-like situations.
The following drop-downs explain the different categories of limits. They are subject to change to allow NICE the ability to find the right balance. If you are running into your limits frequently, contact your CXone Account Representative.
Contacts and messages:
Action Limit Details Update contact 1 million per hour per tenant Includes contact creation, updating of any contact properties, and adding of new messages to the contact or any updates to those messages. Update Specific Contact 250 burst capacity up to 1,020 per hour with 17 refill amount per minute This protects you from inadvertently using up your overall Update contact, Send outbound message, and Store inbound message capacity by having some potential issue with a particular contact. Send outbound message 6,000 per minute (360,000 per hour) This will also consume Update contact. Store inbound message 360,000 per hour per tenant This will also consume Update contact. Get contact (including get contact messages) 120,000 per hour per tenant Many other operations like Update contact will also need to get the contact first to be able to update it.
The reason why this number is lower than Update contact is that often you must get the contact once and then update it multiple times via Workflow Automation rules.
