Limitations on API Throttling

18.6.2. Limitations on API Throttling
The following limitations exist in the current implementation of this feature.
Note
Even with these limitations, CloudPlatform is still able to effectively use API throttling to avoid
malicious attacks causing denial of service.
• In a deployment with multiple Management Servers, the cache is not synchronized across them.
In this case, CloudPlatform might not be able to ensure that only the exact desired number of API
requests are allowed. In the worst case, the number of API calls that might be allowed is (number of
Management Servers) * (api.throttling.max).
• The API commands resetApiLimit and getApiLimit are limited to the Management Server where the
API is invoked.
