Overview
This article explains that the percentage configured on the application rate limit slider also determines the portion of the Org-wide concurrent request limit that the application can consume.
Applies To
- Okta Identity Engine (OIE)
- Rate Limiting
- Applications
Solution
The solution is to be aware of how this setting impacts the entire Org:
- The percentage set on the app rate limit slider also applies to concurrent requests for that specific client or token.
- The concurrency for a specific client or token is calculated using the following formula:
Org concurrency x token Rate Limit percentage = the concurrency this client/token can consume-
Since the concurrency is Org-wide, if one application is configured to consume 100% of the concurrent requests, other applications will be unable to perform concurrent requests.
