Increasing Actions Per Second for Chat

To increase the capacity of chat applications, Actions Per Second (APS) limits for critical operations now apply on a per channel basis, rather than a per Chat Service basis. Until recently the number of messages you sent and number of channels you had were in a competition with each other.

The following operations are rate-limited per channel, with a default maximum set at 30 APS separately for each channel:

• Channel update
• Member create, update, delete
• Message create, update, delete
• Invite create, update, delete

The following operations will still be governed globally, with a single 30 APS limit applying to each Chat Service as a whole:

• Channel create, delete
• User create, update, delete
• Role create, update, delete
• Binding delete

This means users of your application can now communicate as much as they wish to without affecting the application.
