Rate Limits and Quota
The Usage Query and Export Usage API service observes rate limits and a quota to ensure that all clients get sufficient service and that runaway applications don’t consume excessive resources. APS Rate Limits and Quotas describes rate limits and quotas in general.
Rate Limits
The Usage Query and Export Usage API service limits requests per user (identified by their Autodesk Account user name). In other words, the rate limits measure the total number of requests made by all applications belonging to each user.
Export Usage API sustained rate limit is 10 export requests per minute per user being processed.
If a customer exceeds the rate limit, the customer’s applications receive an HTTP 429 error (described in detail in APS Rate Limits and Quotas).
Quota
Single quota affecting a single endpoint.
Scope
Quota is enforced in scope the same way its rate limits are enforced: across all applications belonging to a single user.
Endpoint

Quota Violation Notification
The Usage Query and Export Usage API service returns an HTTP 429 error (described in detail in APS Rate Limits and Quotas) if an application attempts to go past the quota.
