I am writing to ask about Rate limits/Seconds.  
Could you please tell us about it?

■premise  
I have a Business+ contract.  
There are eight types of ZoomAPI. (※1)

\<API type (※1)\>

1. Get a meeting (Light)
2. Create a meeting (Midium)
3. Update a meeting (Light)
4. Delete a meeting (Light)
5. Get a user (Light)
6. List user assistants (Medium)
7. Add assistants (Medium)
8. Delete user assistants (Light)

The Business plan has rate limits.（※2）

\<Business+ Rate Limit Type(※2)\>  
・Light APIs: 80/second  
・Medium APIs: 60/second  
・Heavy APIs: 40/second  
・Resource-intensive APIs: 20/minute

■Inquiry  
Please let me know how to count the number of API calls per second. Which is 1 or 2 or 3?

1. The number of API calls per second is counted separately for each of the eight APIs listed above.

(For example, you can call “Get a meeting” 80 times and “Update a meeting” 80 times per second.  
The number of calls to “Get a meeting” and “Update a meeting” are not added together.)

1. The number of API calls per second is counted for each of the four Rate Limit Types listed above.

(For example, you can call “Get a meeting” 40 times and “Update a meeting” 40 times.  
The number of calls to “Get a meeting” and “Update a meeting” are added together, and if they exceed 80 times per second, the limit is reached.)

1. Other than the above (please tell me how to count)

Hi @suzunosuke.miyahara  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum!  
For the different scenarios you listed, number 2 is correct

> 1. The number of API calls per second is counted for each of the four Rate Limit Types listed above.

As explained in our Docs, \* **APIs are grouped by Request Type with unique rate limits for each.** The documentation for each API endpoint includes a “Rate Limit Label”.

> **[Rate limits - Zoom Developers](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rate-limits/)**
>
> The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform.

Let me know if that helps!
