Are request limits per environment or tenant?

I hope I posted this in the best place.

I've been doing a lot of reading on service protection and request limits to help me decide on an environment strategy. I'm trying to understand if I should separate my apps into their own environments. I can't seen to find any mention if request limits are per environment? It looks like service protection limits are per web server and you don't really know how many web servers you have, but what about the various user-based request limits? Does a user get 40,000 requests in each environment?

If a user needs access to 5 apps, all else being equal, should I put them in 5 environments? Would they get a total of 200,000 requests? Or still 40,000?

Thanks!

HI @Anonymous ,

The request limit is by tenant, not be environment. The user's max in the tenant would be the 40K (if they have 1 license that provides this allocation for that user, if the user has two licenses that both include 40K then it will sum them together to 80K.

Hey @Anonymous,

It's a little more complicated when assessing limits/performance... There are request limits are per user, so the actual users of the apps will have limits and the processes behinds the scenes (eg Power Automate) will also has seperate limits; 40k/24h per regular users and app users/service accounts have 500k/24h. If you reach the limits you can always buy additional limits add-ons. It is suggested to run your flows or background processes with non-license types of users to save license costs and increase the request limits. BTW IMO what determines if you should seperate the apps is not by the limits but rather if it makes logical sense in terms of the data. For instance, you can have an env that is customer centric and another env that is more internal operations centric. If you need to be an app around customers than it would go in the customer env to leverage the customer data and surrounding processes.

To go back to the limits 🙂 Dataverse is optimized to handle immense load and concurrent requests. With internal conversations with Microsoft, it's my understanding that the limits are actually per physical server so dependent on the load balancing it might be even more. More info to increase the performance with parallel requests if ever you're using code: https://learn.microsoft.com/power-apps/developer/data-platform/send-parallel-requests?tabs=webapi
If you using flows, you're also faced with flow action limits; default is 100k/24h per flow and you can increase that to 500k with a Per Flow license assigned to the flow. There are ways to increase the limits by splitting the design of the flow into sub-flows.
Hope this helps a little!

Thanks @EricRegnier for the answer and the commentary. To stray away from limits and back into environment strategies 😀... My issue is that virtually everything on the roadmap is a blend of internal and customer. In fact, I would argue that true digital transformation ought to be! But I had the realization on a call the other day that if we build a monolithic environment, it's going to be very hard to move solutions from proof of concept to production efficiently. I'm now leaning towards treating each solution as a product (and therefore giving each their own environments) so that we don't end up unnecessarily blocking the pipe. It will also make chargebacks easier too. I welcome any thoughts on that!

Hey @Anonymous, apologies for delayed reply. Yeah that works well but it does come with its challenges too, namely inter-dependent solutions. So you'll have to think of your solution strategies well and the hieriarchy of the solutions/environments. Cheers
