Quota Consumption

Understanding what counts as quota consumption helps you optimize your API usage. The system measures quotas at the group level and resets them each month.

Duplicate Query Policy for API

Identical API queries within 1 hour do not count against quota. A query is considered identical if it has the same parameters (filters, sorting, pagination) as a previous query made within the last hour.

Activities That Consume Quota

The following API activities consume your quota:

• Executing a query
• Loading additional pages of results

Activities That Do Not Consume Quota

The following API activities do not consume your quota:

• Identical queries made within 1 hour of a previous query that counted toward quota
