Management rate limits

    This page provides the API rate limits for management activities, which is part of the Okta rate limits.

    Note:

    • To learn more about rate limits, visit our overview and best practices pages.
    • DynamicScale rate limits apply to various endpoints across different APIs for customers who purchased this add-on. (The DynamicScale add-on service is only available to Customer Identity Solutions (CIS) customers.)
    • 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.
    • 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 isn't in this list, you can review it using the Admin Console, in the rate limit dashboard's APIs table. See APIs table.
