Preparing for Power Platform Usage Limit Enforcement

• Power Platform services will enforce stricter daily usage limits starting in late 2022.
• The limits could slow down applications unpredictably and force unexpected additional purchases.
• Administrators should use new usage reporting to find affected users ahead of time.

Power Platform limits on per-user daily usage were announced in 2019 but have been delayed pending administrative usage reporting. These long-delayed reports entered preview in May 2022, kicking off what is expected to be a six-month countdown to strict usage enforcement.

Organizations may find that working within the limits could result in additional, unanticipated costs; customers using Power Platform services should assess their usage and potential future growth now to best plan for this enforcement and potential capacity add-on requirements.

Most Limits Affect Individual Users

Power Platform usage is measured per-user in terms of API requests, which are individual calls an app or flow makes. (For more detail, see the sidebar “How Power Platform Services Measure Usage.”) When an app or flow reaches a usage limit, the platform will throttle it by queueing additional activity until the request rate falls below the limit.
