Authentication/End-user rate limits

This page provides the API rate limits for authentication and end-user activities, which is part of Okta rate limits. To learn more about rate limits, visit our Overview and Best practices pages.

• In addition to the rate limit per API, Okta implements limits on concurrent requests, Okta-generated email messages, end user requests, and home page endpoints. These limits are described on the Additional limits page.
• DynamicScale rate limits apply to a variety of endpoints across different APIs for customers that purchased this add-on.
• You can expand Okta rate limits upon request. To learn how, see Request exceptions and DynamicScale rate limits.

See the following list of per-minute limits. If an endpoint is not in this list, you can review it using the Admin Console, in the rate limit dashboard's APIs table. See APIs table.
