Question

Hotspot Question You are a Microsoft Power Platform solution architect working on a project. API calls are being sent between external applications and a Microsoft Power Platform solution. The number of requests per user within a given time frame varies. Some users may be exceeding the service protection API limits. You need to ensure that the API conforms to service protection limits. Which three metrics should you review? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Options

  • AThe number of requests that a user can make each day.
  • BThe total number of requests that can be processed each day.
  • CThe number of concurrent requests that a user can make.
  • DThe total execution time for requests by all users.
  • EThe combined execution time required to process requests from a user.

Why each option

Microsoft Dataverse service protection API limits are enforced on a per-user basis across three specific dimensions. Understanding which metrics are tracked per user-rather than in aggregate-is key to diagnosing and resolving limit violations.

AThe number of requests that a user can make each day.Correct
BThe total number of requests that can be processed each day.

Option B refers to the total number of requests processed across all users per day. Dataverse service protection limits are not enforced as a global daily cap shared across all users; they are per-user constraints. Monitoring aggregate throughput does not reveal which individual user is breaching limits.

CThe number of concurrent requests that a user can make.Correct
DThe total execution time for requests by all users.

Option D refers to total execution time across all users, which is again an aggregate metric. Dataverse enforces execution time on a per-user basis (option E), not as a combined pool. A single user with long-running requests is the concern, not the system-wide total.

EThe combined execution time required to process requests from a user.Correct

Concept tested: Microsoft Dataverse (Power Platform) service protection API limits - specifically that limits are enforced per user across three dimensions: request count, concurrent requests, and combined execution time, all on a rolling time window.
