How many simultaneous connections can we use with the API?

Question

Hi,

I download all JIRA for multiple projects and to speed up the download, I use the parallelization with 6 or 8 simultaneous connections.

Sometimes it is failed, so I need to reduce the number of connections.

So my question is, how many simultaneous connections can we use with the API?

Thanks for advance for your help

Regards

What are those connections doing?  A hit is not just a single point, they could be doing something massive causing the overload as well.

But I use only 6 connections at the same time.

That would suggest that you're hitting the API hundreds of times and hence overloading it.
