Hi,

We currently have 2 Enterprise users in box and we have 1,00,000 rate limit per month, as per link : Box Plans & Pricing From $5 Per User/Month | Start a Free Trial

For the performance testing of our java client (Created using official  BOX SDK ) we need to upload 5,00,000 documents in to the box account.

Is there any way we can do performance testing with 2 Enterprise users with more rate limit or any workaround?

  Hi, 

  You will need to contact support in order to ask this question. My team does not handle rate limit increase requests. 

  Thanks, 

  Alex, Box Developer Advocate

  Hi Alex,

  Could you please just confirmed, This 100,000 rate limit is per user?

  Thank you

  I see what you mean now. The 100,000 is the number of chargeable api calls by enterprise not by user. We have rate limits as well, published here.

  What is difference between chargeable API calls and Rate Limits?

  The 100,000 amount is the number of free api calls you get at that license level. 

  Rate limits are a way for us to protect our infrastructure from being overloaded by too many calls all at one time.
