Salesforce enforces a 100,000 daily API request limit for Enterprise Edition orgs plus 1,000 additional requests per user license. The system also caps Bulk API to 15,000 batches per day, with individual API requests limited to 600,000 milliseconds (10 minutes).
Exceeding these limits results in blocked requests with HTTP 403 status and REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error until usage drops. Stacksync's managed bi-directional sync bypasses these headaches entirely, giving you real-time CRM data in databases and connected systems without quota management or complex retry logic.
| Category | Limit type | Threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Daily usage | REST and SOAP requests | 100,000 per org plus 1,000 per user license |
| Concurrency | Long-running API calls | 25 in production orgs, 5 in developer orgs |
| Execution time | API call timeout | Hard limit of 10 minutes per request |
| Bulk operations | Bulk API batch submissions | 15,000 batches per day across versions |
| Event streaming | Streaming API events | 200,000 events daily with subscriber caps |
| Reporting | Async Report API calls | 1,200 requests per hour |
Salesforce enforces layered API limits covering daily usage, concurrency, and execution time.
Bulk, streaming, and reporting APIs have separate caps that teams often overlook.
Understanding these thresholds early helps avoid throttling as integrations scale.
Salesforce enforces additional restrictions with daily API limits applying to any 24-hour rolling period, not calendar days:
Rolling 24-hour window: Daily quotas measured continuously as soft limits
Batch constraints: Maximum 10,000 records per batch, 10MB payload limit
Report API specifics: 500 synchronous report runs per hour, 20 concurrent sync requests
Apex callout limits: 100 outbound HTTP requests per transaction maximum
Monitor usage patterns consistently. Track API consumption across all integrations using Salesforce's System Overview monitoring. Set up email notifications at 80% capacity to avoid hitting hard limits during peak business hours.
Implement smart batching and caching strategies. Use Bulk API for large data operations (respecting the 15,000 daily batch limit) and cache frequently accessed data locally. Optimize SOQL queries to reduce unnecessary API calls.
Use Stacksync for seamless real-time synchronization. Rather than building complex rate limit handling, Stacksync's managed connector handles all API complexity automatically. You get bi-directional sync without worrying about quotas, timeouts, or error handling.
Stacksync manages Salesforce API rate limits by handling connection optimization automatically. You get live CRM data synchronized bi-directionally with databases and applications without managing quotas or implementing retry logic.
Connect Stacksync to your Salesforce org with secure OAuth authentication
Select sync targets - choose your database, data warehouse, or business applications
Configure bi-directional sync using visual field mapping and automatic transformations
Activate real-time synchronization with sub-second data propagation across systems
Stacksync handles quota monitoring, error handling, and API complexity automatically. Stacksync optimizes requests, manages retries, and handles data synchronization automatically while you focus on operational efficiency.
High-volume CRM operations with real-time dashboards. Revenue teams pulling opportunity data, lead scores, and pipeline metrics throughout the day often exhaust the 100,000 daily request limit, especially in high-user orgs.
Data migration and bulk synchronization projects. Moving historical records or syncing with external systems frequently hits both daily API limits and the 15,000 Bulk API batch restriction simultaneously.
Multi-system integration environments. When marketing automation, ERP systems, and business intelligence platforms all access Salesforce concurrently, combined usage often exceeds quotas and concurrent request limits.
Salesforce rate limiting doesn't have to derail your data synchronization workflows. While building custom integrations requires careful quota management and sophisticated error handling, Stacksync provides instant access to live Salesforce data through bi-directional sync without technical complexity.
Organizations seeking to eliminate API rate limit complexity can implement Stacksync's managed synchronization solution today.
