@NateKerkhofs The most specific information you can find out Jira Cloud rate limits is from this thread, and in particular @czawadka’s (Jira Cloud Scalability team) comments from back in Jan 2019: Are there rate limits for JIRA Cloud APIs? - #23 by czawadka
At the end of his post, Cezary mentions that the team is working on per-consumer rate limiting. I can confirm that this is indeed the case. The developer relations team is engaged with the prod+eng team that is working on it, and when there’s more to share/discuss, we’ll do it here.
But, getting back to where we are today… if you’re making calls in series, and not in parallel, then you’re not likely to see 429s – even if you’re making hoards of calls in fast succession.
