I have a question regarding rate limiting for license-based APIs.

Is the license-based API rate limit after publishing a custom app related to the plan that the party issuing OAuth (i.e., the developer of the custom app) has signed up for, which increases the count when making API calls from the app?

Or does the contracted plan of the user of the app affect the API call limit?

Hello -

API call totals are by the enterprise using the application. The developer that makes an application and publishes it on the app center will not see api calls from another enterprise using that application. Hope this helps!

For example, if the custom app developer is on the Business plan, and the user of the custom app is on the Enterprise plan, will the user's API call limit be the "100,000 API calls" associated with the Enterprise plan?
