Question
I need my apps to make more calls to the Zendesk API per minute. How can I increase my API rate limit?
Answer
You can increase the Zendesk API rate limit per minute for your plan in two different ways:
- Upgrade your Support subscription to a higher pricing plan.
- If you are on the Zendesk Suite Growth plan and above, purchase the High volume API add on. This feature increases your rate limit to 2500 requests per minute.
To learn more about the different add-ons Zendesk offers, see the article: About Zendesk Suite add-ons.
Note: Monitor your use of the API with the API Usage dashboard and verify if possible rate limits are reached.

Your ticket opened with Zendesk was assigned to our Online Sales team, but unfortunately, you dropped the messaging conversation during the process. That’s totally fine, you maybe got busy and had to leave the conversation. We can see in the ticket history that you are looking for the pricing of the API add-on.
We would like to either invite you to return to our messaging channel or to discuss here over this email the best way to support your case. Let us know what you prefer.
I hope both of you have a great day.
Best regards,

The High Volume API Add-on is available to be purchased if you are on Support Professional/Enterprise or Zendesk Growth, Professional, and Enterprise.
If you have more than 10 agents, the add-on will cost £20 / €25 / $25 per month per agent. If you have less than 10 agents, you will pay £200 / €250 / $250 per month for the add-on.
If you have follow-up questions, feel free to send them here.
I hope you have a great day.

Hi Ramanathan,
We purchased a Zendesk add on to send promotional sms messages to our clients. It is called oapps. We have almost 20 000 opted in sms subscribers. When we try to message them we are throttling the api limit. We are on professional. Please advise how we can message all 20 000 of our sms list at once. Or say send 4 messages of 5000 at once. Thank you!

HI Ramanathan, ok thanks for that. So, to confirm, if I pay $250 per month I can add one agent to be able to text 2500 sms at a time? thanks.
