How to Set API Token Rate Limits
Administration

Overview

  The goal of this knowledge article is to present the steps for setting the percentage for each API token.

Applies To
  • API Token
  • Rate Limit
Cause

By default, each API token generated in Okta is limited to 50% of the total rate limit for each API endpoint. This means that requests that use the API token can only use 50% of the total rate limit at any given time. If that 50% is exceeded, an API token rate limit violation is logged in the system log.

Solution

The percentage of the rate limits that each API token can use is configurable from the Admin dashboard. Refer to the video or steps in Set token rate limits (optional):

NOTE: This does not change the overall rate limit for each API endpoint. It only changes the percentage of the rate limits that the API token is allowed to use.

Within the settings for an API Token, modify the Token Rate limit to a minimum value of 5%. If trying to set the value to 0%, the value will not be saved, and when the page is refreshed, it will revert to the value that was previously set.
