QPS limits on API operations in ApsaraVideo VOD - ApsaraVideo VOD

ApsaraVideo VOD limits the queries per second (QPS) of API calls for each account. Throttling is triggered if the QPS limit per account is exceeded. This topic describes the QPS limit per account on each API operation in ApsaraVideo VOD. To prevent service interruptions, we recommend that you take note of this limit when you call API operations.

Overview

The QPS limit per account on an API operation indicates the maximum number of times that an Alibaba Cloud account and the RAM users that belong to this account can call the API operation per second. For example, the QPS limit per account on the CreateUploadVideo operation is 120. If you have an Alibaba Cloud account and five RAM users that belong to the account, when you use all six accounts to call the CreateUploadVideo operation at the same time, the total number of calls per second cannot exceed 120.
