Concur Rate Limits

SAP Concur does not publish specific public per-second / per-minute API rate limits. Throttling is applied at the platform level and clients are expected to handle 429 responses with backoff. Limits are configured per customer contract / partner agreement (Concur Connect, App Center). Use the developer portal for endpoint-specific guidance.

varies by endpoint and product (Expense, Travel, Invoice, Request)
Individual endpoints may impose their own quotas (e.g. bulk export, batch user provisioning). Refer to per-endpoint documentation.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 and 503 responses.
Authentication
All Concur APIs require OAuth2 access tokens issued via the company / app credential flow; tokens are scoped per tenant and expire on the platform's standard schedule.
Sandbox vs Production
Implementation testing happens in the Concur Implementation environment (CTE / sandbox) where rate limits may differ from production.
Partner Program
API access is gated through the SAP Concur App Center / Concur Connect partner program; raised limits are negotiated through the partner relationship rather than self-serve.
