An Ubidots account typically can ingest 4 requests per second per Token, each one can have a maximum of 10,000 bytes. This is valid across all of the supported protocols – HTTP, MQTT, and TCP & UDP.
Nonetheless, there are some applications, such as the following examples, that require account or Organizational tokens with extended limits and different time windows for data ingestion:
- Centralize data from several devices from a Device management platform (i.e. LoRaWAN Network Servers, Particle Cloud, Sigfox backend), from which a single account or Organizational token is used.
- Centralize data from several devices in a single gateway, from which a single account or Organizational token is used.
For those kind of applications, you can edit the rate limit and time window of the account or Organizational tokens to be used. Please note that these rate limits don’t apply to Device tokens as they’re fixed to 4 request per second.
