API limits in Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Dataverse directly affect integration performance, throughput, and reliability. To help teams plan and optimize usage, we published a clear breakdown of daily request allocations, service-protection throttling, and how these limits impact the CData Dynamics 365 / Dataverse Driver.

**Highlights:**

- Daily request allocations for licensed and application users
- Per-request limits: 5,000-record pages and 1,000-operation batch caps
- Service Protection Limits (request count, execution time, concurrency)
- How the CData Driver translates SQL queries into multiple Web API calls
- How to monitor API usage and avoid 429 throttling
