Connector limits.

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I have read about this limitation and how a certain connection can only make a certain amount of API calls in a time window.

 

My question is...

I have one flow that will trigger on some event, suppose my flow gets triggered 2 times in less than X seconds (X being much much lower than the cooldown for the api calls).

Now I have 2 instances of the flow doing stuff... are these 2 separate connections? Do I have "doubled" the api calls?

 

Thanks in advance!

    The api call limits are based on the User session, not the flow instance.  So yes if you use the connector in two flows running at the same time then you are consuming twice the api calls against the limit.  If you run the connections using two separate licensed accounts then you have double the api call limit.
