Power Platform Rate Limits

Power Platform enforces a per-license daily request entitlement (Power Platform Requests, "PPR") evaluated on a 24-hour sliding window per user (Premium licenses) or per flow (Process / Per-flow / Hosted Process licenses). A separate non-licensed-user pool covers application, non-interactive, administrative, and SYSTEM identities. A 5-minute ceiling of 100,000 requests applies regardless of license. Service-protection limits in Dataverse, Power Automate, and connectors apply on top of these daily limits and are documented per service.

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

It captures 10 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests_per_24_hours, requests_per_5_minutes, and varies.

The profile also includes 6 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and serviceProtection.

Tagged areas include Business Applications, Copilot Studio, Dataverse, Microsoft, and Power Automate.

Policies

Sliding window
The 24-hour PPR window is a continuous sliding window evaluated on each request, not a fixed daily reset.
No rollover
Unused PPR entitlement does not roll over from day to day or month to month.
Stacking and add-ons
Process licenses stack at the flow level; capacity add-ons stack to raise individual user/flow limits during enforcement (not assignable during transition period).
Transition period
Until Power Platform Request reporting goes GA + 6 months, transition limits (more generous than official limits) apply and high-usage enforcement is paused.
License attribution for flows
Instant flows use the invoking user's limits; automated and scheduled flows use the flow owner's limits regardless of connection identity.
Pay-as-you-go fallback
Switch to Power Apps pay-as-you-go to charge per request above daily limits and avoid throttling.
