Dear google api support team

We have read some imformation rate limits for Google ads API at the link  below.
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/rate-limits

It is noticed that the rate limits are identified by queries per second (QPS) per client customer ID (CID) and developer token.
Currently, Our company are using the same CID and developer token for both Google ads API and Adwords API.

We wonder wether the rate limits are mutually applied for both Google ads API and Adwords API even with separate endpoints.
For example: 
Rate limits: 10/1sec
We can call 6 requests/1 sec via Google Ads API endpoint + 4 requests via AdWords API endpoint ?
  • We can call 6 requests/1 sec via Google Ads API endpoint + 4 requests via AdWords API endpoint?
  • We can call 10 requests/1 sec  via Google Ads API endpoint, in this case the requests via AdWords API endpoint will not be counted?
Could you please help to check for the above question and share with me the answer?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Thanks and best regards,

Hello,

Rate limits per CID are shared across APIs. So if you hit a rate limit on a specific account, then you'd have to wait with both APIs before continuing. Rate limits per developer token are separate per API, so if you hit the limit using the Google Ads API, then you would only have to wait with that API but the AdWords API would still work.

Mike, Google Ads API Team
