Track Event API Limits
Hey Pendo, we'd like to better understand the track events API limits.
We'd like to use track events to record how long parts of our UI take to load for users.
Doc says max 1 track event per user per second. Is this done on a per-second basis, or is it more like no more than 60 per 60 seconds? Because we can imagine sending a burst of track events on page load.
And would the track evnets API be okay with, say, 80k events per day?

Hi Doug McDaniel,
Thanks for sharing this customer's question about API limits; if anyone else has any comments, please share on the thread.
For reference, I think the customer is referring to this documentation, and I think the key point is more about the properties of the track events. I think 80k events per day would not be recommended based on the paragraph below.
"Volume
Pendo can handle a high volume of inbound Track Events. The only limit is one Track Event per Visitor per second.
There is no hard limit for the number of properties that can be passed with a single Track Event type but, depending on the size of the data in the properties, a large number can cause degradation in performance. As a general guideline, 20 properties may cause performance issues if the strings are large and 50 properties will likely have performance issues. Strings should be less than 500 bytes."
Does anyone have any other insight into this?
Howard Lio- I have a similar scenario.
Our scenario is that we are doing track events for when a shipment is made. On screen, users can bulk/batch shipments and ship 20+ shipments in 1 click.
Any ideas how to best pass all the info to Pendo?
