You have exceeded the rate limits of API Calls for your tenant within 24 hours; This article aims to elucidate the process you have to follow while performing initial data load from SAP S4HANA or SAP S4HANA Cloud or SAP ERP into Sales & Service Cloud v2 and when it over exceeds the limit of API Calls(services part of Communication configuration / data-connector enabled) outlined in the supplement document, part of an agreement for SAP Cloud Sales and Services Version 2.

As per the SAP Commercial Model, you can only send 150.000 messages, plus an additional 1,500 messages per licensed User, within the 24-hour time frame, from S/4 to Sales and Service Cloud V2.

SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Service Cloud Version 2 Supplemental Terms and Conditions outline the following:

"The total number of API and event calls related to the Cloud Service per 24-hour period is limited to 150,000 plus an additional 1,500 per licensed User. This includes all API calls for the Cloud Service except the standard Cloud Service User Interface. Data import and exports can only be done one at a time, and not in batches. Each import or export cannot exceed 50,000 records per block." 

Please Note: For Production Tenants, the number of allowed calls is calculated as described above; whereas for Test Tenants the limit is 30000 per day.

For this initial load on standard integration, SAP can increase the quota for a limited number of days.

You would have to contact SAP Support either before triggering the initial load or when you come to the 429 error in SAP,  so SAP can remove the quota restriction for a limited period.

Please, submit a new case to component CEC-CRM-IFR-AMB; by including the following details regarding the initial load:

1. SCV2 Tenant URL.
2. Approximate number of requests that will be processed every 24 hours.
3. Time frame where the rate limit should be increased.

SAP intends to launch either a Data Source or a User Interface that displays API requests for each entity.
