Are there any API Rate limits for Jira Cloud?

Hi @Hector Hood 

There's no rate limit per say, however it does have a soft way of limiting the API if the request becomes too excessive. So if you want to make calls to it, go with reduced concurrency (2 request per minute) that way you don't end up receiving errors like 429.

@Prince Nyeche 5 tenants installed in my connect app and i'm making rest api calls from server using JWT token. so rate limit will be tenant level or app level?(need to consider rest api calls per tenant or all will be counted to app rate limit?)

Hi Hector,

I think that currently there is no API Rate limit. You can look at Rate limiting or https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-41876 for more information about API Rate limit.
