Hi @osawa.yuta,

Good question—happy to clarify. 🙂

To that end, rate limits are applied at the account level, so they’re tracked by API Key. If a Master Account uses it’s API Key to make a request to manage the sub account, that is still a rate limit applied to the master account.

If you use credentials from a sub account, this will be applied to the sub account’s rate limits and treated like a separate account.

Thanks!  
Will
