Workday Reporting Rate Limits
Workday does not publish a unified rate-limit policy for the Reporting, Prism Analytics, WQL, RaaS, Custom Reports, or Advanced Reports APIs in any public-facing documentation. The Workday Community reference (community.workday.com) is the canonical source and requires authenticated customer access. Limits are tenant-scoped and described per integration in the gated docs.

Tenant-scoped throttling (see gated Workday Community documentation) tenant
see https://community.workday.com/api
Workday enforces tenant-level throttling and concurrency limits; specific values are published only inside the authenticated Workday Community reference. Long-running report executions and Prism dataset operations have their own concurrency caps documented per API.
Policies
Documentation gating
Workday API rate-limit policy is published only on community.workday.com, which requires a customer login. No public per-second or per-minute numbers are available.
Backoff
Standard guidance is exponential backoff with jitter on HTTP 503 and on documented Workday throttling SOAP faults.
Long-running operations
Report and Prism operations are asynchronous; concurrency is bounded by the tenant's integration capacity rather than per-second request rates.
