Power Platform Usage Limits Raised

In Nov. 2021, Microsoft announced higher daily API request limits for Power Platform services.

Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power Virtual Agents all throttle the daily usage of the services by individual users to prevent heavy usage and to limit the effects of poorly performing routines. These limits, introduced in 2019, vary by license type and must be supplemented by tenant-level capacity add-ons if overrun. However, Microsoft has not offered reporting sufficient for administrators to track API requests per user or per app; this administrative feature is scheduled for rollout in early 2022, with strict enforcement starting six months later.

This chart shows the new limits being implemented per user for each license type. The User License column shows the type of license the new limits apply to. The Previous column shows the total API requests a user holding a particular license type was entitled to prior to the higher limits. The third column, labeled New, shows the updated daily limits for that license type.
