Syncro Sender Rate Limits: Public and Dedicated Endpoints on Multiple Servers

Written by Mike

How do rate limits work in Syncro Sender, and what happens when requests come from multiple servers?

Syncro Sender supports multi-server setups. Rate limits are applied differently depending on whether traffic goes through the public endpoint or a dedicated private endpoint.

How Syncro Sender rate limits work

Rate limiting in Syncro Sender controls how many requests a client can send within a given time window. The specific limit and the way it is counted depend on the endpoint type.

Public endpoint rate limits

The public endpoint applies a default limit of 1 request per second per source IP address. When multiple servers send traffic through separate public IPs, each IP is evaluated independently against that limit. This mode is intended for testing and development scenarios. Limits and behavior may change over time; refer to the documentation for the latest values.

Dedicated endpoint rate limits

The dedicated private endpoint applies a default limit of 50 requests per second per client profile. When the same client profile is used across multiple servers, the quota is shared across all of them. Splitting traffic across servers does not automatically increase the total allowance. Limits and behavior may change over time; refer to the documentation for the latest values.

Can rate limits be increased?

Higher dedicated endpoint limits can be configured when greater throughput is required. Contact the support team to discuss adjustments based on your specific traffic pattern.

Which endpoint should be used for production traffic?

For multi-server production workloads that require throughput above the public endpoint's testing limits, the dedicated endpoint is the appropriate choice.
