The Snap fails with an error , when the number of requests exceeds 6000 within 300 seconds. We recommend that you limit the number of requests you make within 300 seconds (5 minutes). You can gradually increase the requests that reduce the retry-after duration, optimize your throughput, and minimize resource spikes on the server.
The Snap fails with an error , when the combined execution time of incoming requests exceeds the limit of 1,200,000 milliseconds within the window of 300 seconds. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests or reduce the duration of requests and try later.
The Snap fails with an error , when the number of concurrent requests exceed exceeds the limit of 52. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests.
When deleting more than one object in batches, the Batch Size range is from 1 to 1000. This is a limitation by of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales.
MS Dynamics 365 for Sales limits the number of API calls to 60,000 per minute , per user org. This should be considered , when configuring the size of any batch process.
The Object Type suggestions are limited to the object types available within the MS Dynamics 365 For Sales v8.2 and v9.0. There is no current ability to suggest custom object types.
This Snap cannot create relationships using collection-valued navigation properties, such as contact_customer_accounts, due to current WebAPI limitations; however, it works correctly with single-valued navigation properties, such as primarycontactid.
