What Is API Throttling and Why Is It Important When Migrating from Egnyte to Microsoft 365?

API Throttling is an approach used to limit any further requests from the source cloud for a certain time period.

When you exceed the throttling threshold, Microsoft limits any further requests from Egnyte to avoid overuse of resources.

API throttling is important when migrating from Egnyte to Microsoft 365 to maintain optimal performance and reliability.

Advanced cloud migration tools such as CloudFuze Migrate help you mitigate the risks of API throttling and ensure seamless migration.

What Happens When You Get Throttled in SharePoint Online?

When you exceed usage limits, SharePoint throttles any further requests from Egnyte for a short span.

For requests made in the browser, SharePoint redirects to the throttling information page, and the requests fail.

For requests made by an application, including Microsoft Graph, CSOM, or REST calls, SharePoint returns HTTP status code 429 (“Too many requests”) or 503 (“Server Too Busy”), and the requests fail.

OneDrive may also return a Retry-After header with the number of seconds to wait before sending more requests.
