API requests count owner, connection or trigger user

Hi,

I've go a question about API request limits and who is charged with api requests.

As I understand users with a per user license have got a specific api request limit of 2000 api requests.

There are owners, connections and triggers, which can all refer to a different user. For example user A may be the owner of a flow, but all the connections are signed in with the credentials of user B, and user C triggers the flow for "a selected item".

For flows with manual triggers it is possible within the flow details to set the credentials for each connection for run-only users.

 

My question is: Who gets charged with the used API requests in the following cases?

 

1. User A is owner of an automatic flow, but all the actions use a connection with the credentials of user B. The flow gets triggered automatically.

2. User A is owner of a manual flow, user B triggers the flow and consents to the use of his own connection.

3. User A is owner of a manual flow. User B is a run-only user with all connections set to use user A's credentials. User B triggers the flow. Because the connection are set to use user A's credentials, user B does not have to consent.

 

Thanks for your help.
