Is there a limit to the times individual users can trigger the Patch() function?

Hi people! 

 

Not too long ago, I was watching a Reza Dorani video (I think most of us here know who he is), and I distinctly remember him saying that the Patch() function could only be used a certain amount of times per day. I believe it was somewhere around 40,000 per organization or 2,000 per user, I don't really remember the exact number (or if I even heard correctly to be honest). 

 

I didn't pay much attention back then since I was just starting to learn how to build Power Apps. However, now that I have a handful of Apps running, and I'm using patch to edit all my data sources, that warning is now haunting me. 

 

Maybe I didn't hear correctly back then, or I misunderstood what he was saying. Thankfully, most of the things I know today are because of him. 

 

I would appreciate if someone could confirm or debunk my claims. 

 

Thank you!

    Updates to the Power Platform request limits | Power Automate Blog (microsoft.com)

    For what its worth I have at least a dozen apps deployed across 5 departments of a HUGE Worldwide corporation and we have never once hit any of these caps. Doubt you will either

    Hi @mjmedina97 

    This would relate to the overall Power Apps API limit. There is some documentation here.

    In practice, I have not encountered anyone who has hit this limit through the basic use of Power Apps and the Patch function.

    @TheRobRush - I didn't see that you had replied there 🙂 I agree with you - it's really unlikely to hit those limits. I think also there was long time when Microsoft wasn't monitoring these limits!

    Good enough for me, thanks for putting my doubts to rest.
