Osisoft Pi Rate Limits

PI System APIs do not publish per-account rate limits. PI Web API throughput is governed by customer-deployed PI Server / IIS capacity. AVEVA CONNECT Data Services limits are enterprise-customer-specific and disclosed under contract.

Cloud service limits are tenant-specific and disclosed under enterprise agreement.

Policies

Customer-Operated Throttling
Because PI Web API is typically self-hosted, throttling, retry, and backoff decisions are made by the customer's API gateway or proxy in front of PI Server.
Backoff
Standard exponential backoff with jitter is recommended on any 429 / 503 response.
