Increasing Actions Per Second for Conversations

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

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

• Conversation update
• Participant create, update, delete
• Message create, update, delete

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

• Conversation create, delete
• User create, update, delete
• Role create, update, delete

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