Discover the default API usage limits for Zendesk plans and how they help manage API requests effectively.

What are the default API usage limits for Zendesk plans?

Zendesk has set default API usage limits based on different plans to help manage API requests effectively. The limits are as follows: Team plan allows 200 requests per minute, Growth and Professional plans allow 400 requests per minute, Enterprise plan allows 700 requests per minute, and the High Volume API add-on allows 2500 requests per minute.

These limits are designed to ensure fair usage and prevent overloading the system. If your usage frequently approaches or exceeds these limits, you might consider upgrading your plan or purchasing the High Volume API add-on for increased capacity.
