Commvault Rate Limits

Commvault Cloud REST APIs are bundled with each subscription. Commvault publishes API references (api.commvault.com / documentation.commvault.com) but does not publish a single per-tier numeric rate-limit table; throttling defaults are tied to the customer's CommServe / Cloud tenant capacity. Self-managed software customers govern throughput at the CommServe level.

see Commvault documentation; bounded by tenant capacity

Policies

Backoff
Use exponential backoff with jitter on 429/503 responses; honor Retry-After when returned.
Tenant-bounded
Effective throughput is bounded by the customer's CommServe / Cloud tenant resources rather than a public per-second ceiling.
Token-based auth
Authentication tokens have a finite lifetime; clients must refresh tokens, which is rate-limited per account.
