Need Information on Rate Limits and Data Retention for Microsoft O365 Message Trace
The REST API I am currently using for O365 Message Trace for my integration is: https://reports.office365.com/ecp/reportingwebservice/reporting.svc/MessageTrace[?ODATA options]
- Can someone help me in knowing the rate limit of this API? Is the rate limit is different for account level and user level? Please let me know those limits if anyone is aware of it.
- While exploring the API, I found that the API is returning the data from past 10days to the max. Exceeding this, it is giving me server error with 500 response code. Is there is any possible way to obtain the data more than this range, as mentioned that the data retention is 30 days according to: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/office/developer/o365-enterprise-developers/jj984335(v=office.15)#data-granularity-persistence-and-availability
The rate limits for the O365 Message Trace API are generally aligned with the Microsoft Graph API limits:
Per-Minute Limit: Up to 60 requests per minute
Per-Hour Limit: Up to 1000 requests per hour1
