Salesforce Error: 90% of the API Limit Is Reached

You may find that your syncs are rescheduled and the following error appears:

90% of the API limit is reached, Consumed X calls of the total allowed Y calls. For more information, see our Salesforce Troubleshooting page.

Find out why this error appears and what you need to do.

What causes the Salesforce API limit error?

Salesforce limits each organization's total inbound API requests (calls). When your Salesforce account reaches 90% of the API call limit, we automatically reschedule your sync and display the above error.

Each connector and application utilizing the same Salesforce account contributes to your organization's API request limit.

No action required

When this issue occurs, we automatically reschedule your sync. You don't need to take any action. However, to avoid encountering this issue again, you can do either of the following:

• Use credentials from two different Salesforce organizations to authorize your Fivetran connections and internal applications.
• Increase your Salesforce organization's API limit. See Salesforce's API Request Limite and Allocations documentation for more information.
