Technical Limitations

​
Rate Limiting

Lexoffice API has standard rate limits to ensure fair usage across all applications. These limits are automatically managed by Chift to optimize performance and prevent interruptions. However, once the API rate limit is reached, Chift cannot bypass these limitations and requests will need to wait until the limit resets. For high-volume operations, it’s recommended to plan accordingly and distribute requests over time. See more information here
