I know there is a limit of 10k operations per day, but I would like to know which timezone is used to determine the start and end of that day.

Also, is there a way to query the API for the number of operations remaining in a day?

Hi Andre,

The operation limits are not bound by timezone. Instead, it is 24 hours after you exhaust the quota of 10k operations. 

We don't have any way to query the remaining quota, but you should be able to track it on your end. You can use the Rate Sheet to determine the cost of each operation.

Please note that if you are using only Campaign Management Services (i.e. not TargetingIdeaService or TrafficEstimationService), then you can get the operation count in the operations field of the SOAP response header. This is just another way to keep track of costs.

Cheers,

Hi Anthony, I understand I'm supposed to track my own ops count, which I try to do, but the difficulty is knowing how "day" in "10k operations per day" is defined.

From what you said, I gather "day" means a 24h period. But you also say the limit is lifted 24h after the limit is hit.
So, which is it?

Say I start sending operations 00:01 on Monday and hit the 10k limit at 11:30pm that same day.
According to what you said, the limit will be lifted at 11:30 the next day.
That totals 10k operations over 2 days.

Please clarify.

Hi Andre,

I *think* this happens 24hrs after you consume the first of the 10K operations (rather than from the moment where you exhausted your 10K quota for the day). So to answer your question, if you send a request at 00.30 and exhaust the quota at 23:30, the quota would refresh again at 00:30 the next day.

Hope this helps.

So is it safe to say that OpsLeft = 10000 - OpsOverLast24Hours ?
That means I can to keep OpsOverLast24Hours bellow 10k, which is a very easy rule to implement.

Hi Andre,

Yep, that should work. You only need to upgrade to the Standard access token if you regularly see your usage go above 10K operations / day.
