Batch Limit for Batch Endpoints

[Priya2]

What is the maximum batch limit for the following endpoint,

Create a batch of contacts.

This follows the same rules as creating an individual object.

POST/crm/v3/objects/contacts/batch/create

Hi @dennisedson, is there any way for me to get my update contacts limit increased? I need to perform a daily update to a list of thousands of contacts and the limit of 10 is too low for my usecase. Would it be possible by any means to have it increased to 100, for example?

If not, what would you suggest me as an approach to have it performing well on a list of more than 60k contacts?

UPDATED: I've just seen in the v1 docs that the limit is 100 for that legacy API, would you recomend me using that one instead?

Thanks!

Hey @lucas-garcia 

You caught me on vacation 🙃

Yeah, the v1 is stable and you should be able to use that.

Hey @Priya2 

It is kind of burried, but here is the link that lists the batch limits.  Scroll to batch limits

Batch actions

Each object provides batch endpoints that let you create, read, update, and archive multiple object records in a single request. Batch endpoints have a limit of 100 records per call except for creating and updating contacts, which are limited to 10 records per call.

this is old and no longer applicable, the link doesn't show any info on batch amount

I was doing some work today and found that Association limits have a limit of 2000 associations per call, despite what the docs say. I needed to make about 25000 associations, so I just chunked the array into groups of 1500 and looped through the array.
