Report generation quotas (rate limitations)

For:
Marketers Developers
Last update:

At a glance: A quota (rate limitation) mechanism limits the number of reports that can be generated per day by both Pull API and the data export pages. 

Rate limits for reports

The quota limits the number of reports that can be generated per day per report type. The quota varies according to your subscription plan. 

Principles:

  • Agencies: Pull API reports generated by agencies are counted as part of the advertiser quota for Pull API reports. If you often reach the quota limit, contact your Account Executive. For reports from the export data page, agencies and advertisers have separate quotas.
  • Ad networks: Reports generated by ad networks aren't counted as part of the advertiser quota. 
  • Day: Quotas are per calendar day starting at 00:00 UTC
