McAfee (Trellix) · Rate Limits

Mcafee Rate Limits

Most McAfee / Trellix APIs run inside customer-deployed appliances or virtual servers (ePO, TIE, DXL broker, Web Gateway, ESM) where rate limits are bounded by the deployed hardware / VM rather than by a vendor-published RPS. The cloud MVISION / Trellix XDR API has tenant-scoped throttles but numeric ceilings are not surfaced on the public marketing site. Consumers should refer to the product's Administration Guide for sizing and concurrency guidance per appliance.

Limits

On-prem appliance throughput appliance
varies
sized to deployed hardware / VM
For on-prem products, throughput is bounded by the customer's deployment (CPU, memory, EPS sizing for ESM, broker count for DXL). Reference the product's Administration Guide for sizing.
Cloud MVISION / XDR tenant limit tenant
varies
per-tenant throttle (not publicly documented)
Cloud APIs apply per-tenant throttles; specific numeric ceilings are documented in the customer- gated portal rather than on the public marketing site.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Use exponential backoff with jitter on transient errors and honor Retry-After when present.
Appliance Sizing
For on-prem deployments, scale appliance / VM resources or add brokers (DXL) to handle higher request volumes; raw RPS is a function of deployed capacity rather than a vendor cap.
Cloud Throttle Escalation
For cloud MVISION / XDR throttling, contact Trellix support to request quota review; tenants on enterprise plans may receive raised ceilings.
