Limits
The Limits page configures resource quotas and rate limits for a profile. You find it in the TagoIO & API section, under "Limits" in the sidebar.
Limits set the maximum amount of a resource a profile can consume. They keep resource use under control and keep usage fair across tenants on shared infrastructure, so one profile cannot degrade service for the rest or overwhelm backend components.
Raising a limit, such as the number of API requests per minute or the maximum data volume per request, changes what your API service has to handle. Higher limits may need more resources, either through vertical scaling (more CPU and memory per instance) or horizontal scaling (more API instances). For guidance on scaling, see the API service page.
Before raising request limits, make sure the profile's Analysis scripts are optimized. Refactor Analysis code to remove unnecessary API calls and use parallel queues to reduce strain on the API. Fixing inefficiencies at the script level can cut peak resource use and reduce the need for extra resources.
Editing limits
- Select an Account from the combobox.
- Select a Profile from the combobox.
- Once a profile is chosen, the limit groups appear. Use the "Search limits" box to find a specific limit, then enter the new value. Keep its effect on system performance and infrastructure in mind.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Important: After raising limits, monitor API performance and system metrics to confirm your infrastructure keeps up with the workload. Adjust scaling settings as needed to maintain availability and responsiveness.
