QPS limits for ApsaraVideo VOD API operations - ApsaraVideo VOD

What is the QPS limit per account

The QPS limit per account for an API operation is the maximum number of calls that an Alibaba Cloud account and its RAM users can make to the operation per second or per minute. For example, the QPS limit per account for the CreateUploadVideo operation is 120 calls per second. If you have one Alibaba Cloud account and five RAM users, the total number of calls to the CreateUploadVideo operation from all six accounts cannot exceed 120 per second.

Important

Not all API operations are subject to throttling. See the tables below for details.
QPS limits default to calls per second unless otherwise specified (for example, calls per minute).
QPS limits for some API operations vary by region. These differences are noted in the tables. If no region is specified, the limit applies to all regions.
The QPS limits listed here are for reference only. Actual limits may vary based on factors such as region, call volume, and concurrency. The limits enforced by the service prevail.
