Ibm Api Connect Rate Limits

Documented API-call limits for hosted IBM API Connect. Limits apply to API calls processed by the gateway for a subscription, counted for every response code (1xx to 5xx). There is no overage: once the contracted volume is reached, further calls are stopped until the tier is upgraded. API providers set their own rate, burst and count limits on the APIs they publish through Plans and the Rate Limit policy.

Ibm Api Connect Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for IBM API Connect on the APIs.io network, in the API Commons Rate Limits shape.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, across the trial, standard, and premium tiers, measuring requests and requests_per_year.

The profile also includes 4 backoff/retry policies defined.

Tagged areas include API Gateway, API Management, Developer Portal, IBM, and Rate Limiting.

Policies

No Overage
IBM does not charge overage. When the contracted limit is reached, calls are stopped; upgrading mid-contract is pro-rated and subtracts calls already used.
Limit Notifications
Paid subscriptions get call-limit email notifications at 50%, 80%, 100% and 105%.
Contract Year Reset
Limits apply to the current contract year and reset on renewal.
Provider-Defined Limits
Rate, burst and count limits on published APIs are configured by the API provider in Plans or with the Rate Limit assembly policy, and differ per API.
