Do Atlassian Confluence Cloud API rate limits apply to custom macros hosted on our own cloud server?

Hi Atlassian team and community,

I recently came across the announcement about API rate limiting(Rate Limiting-Documnet) for the Confluence Cloud REST API, and I wanted some clarification regarding our use case.

We’ve developed a custom Confluence macro that is hosted on our cloud server and published on the Atlassian Marketplace using an atlassian-connect.json descriptor.

The macro interacts with the Confluence Cloud REST API via the usual authenticated API calls.

My question is:

Do the new rate limits apply to these API calls made from our custom macro backend?

And if so:

  • Are the total rate limits per app per tenant or per tenant?
  • How should we handle or monitor these limits effectively for marketplace-hosted apps?

Just trying to ensure we’re building with these limits in mind going forward.

I appreciate any help you can provide.
