[Jira Cloud] Search Rate Limit jira api

Hello

I’m seeing api rate limits in jira cloud

I’m using the below endpoint for searching 100 issues:

https://randomexample.net/rest/api/3/search/jql

with body:

{
    "jql": "summary is not empty",
    "fields": [
        "key",
        "summary",
        "description"
    ],
  
  "expand": "changelog",

    "maxResults": 100
}

Regarding the Jira Cloud rate limit documented here:


https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rate-limiting/

Assuming the search API returns 100 issues, I calculated the cost as:

1 (base) + 100 = 101 points

If I expand the changelog, will that cost be added on top of the 101 points, or is it already included in those 101 points?

Regards,

Ibrahim
