Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Management Rate Limits

Microsoft Configuration Manager is an on-premises product whose primary admin surfaces (SMS Provider over WMI, AdminService REST, Configuration Manager console) run inside the customer's site server. There are no published per-second / per-minute throttling limits; performance is bounded by the customer's site server capacity, SQL Server tier, and AdminService IIS host. For cloud-attached scenarios (CMG, co-management with Intune), Microsoft Graph and Intune throttling limits apply to the cloud calls — see those providers.

Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Management Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Management on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring varies.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceUnavailable.

Policies

On-premises sizing
Scale the site server, SQL tier, and management points to match client population; Microsoft publishes sizing guidance per role.
Cloud-attach inheritance
When co-managed with Intune, requests routed to Microsoft Graph and Intune are subject to those services' published throttling limits.
Backoff Strategy
AdminService clients should treat 429 / 503 with exponential backoff and honour Retry-After when returned.
