12/02/2025, 9:46 AMWe are currently performing a large-scale migration involving hundreds of thousands of accounts. This process includes tenant creation, user provisioning, and role assignment for each account. However, after processing a few hundred accounts, we begin encountering HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors.

12/02/2025, 9:46 AMFor large-scale migrations, Permit.io provides bulk operations that can help reduce the number of API calls and avoid rate limiting issues (1) . Here's how you can handle this more efficiently:
Bulk User Operations
Permit's API supports syncing and updating users en-masse :
• Bulk `Create` User
• Bulk `Replace` User
• Bulk `Assign Roles` to Users
• Bulk `Unassign Roles` to Users
• Bulk `Delete` User
SDK Support for Bulk Operations
The SDKs provide methods for bulk role assignments:
*Node.js:*
Copy code
bulkAssign(assignments: RoleAssignmentCreate[]) : Promise<BulkRoleAssignmentReport>;
bulkUnassign(unassignments: RoleAssignmentRemove[]) : Promise<BulkRoleUnAssignmentReport>; Copy code
BulkRoleAssignmentReport bulkAssign(List<RoleAssignmentCreate> assignments) throws IOException, PermitApiError, PermitContextError;
BulkRoleUnassignmentReport bulkUnassign(List<RoleAssignmentRemove> unassignments) throws IOException, PermitApiError, PermitContextError;Ask Inkeep

12/02/2025, 9:49 AMHey @Girija shankar, the AI is right. We also recently increased the number of requests per call. You're welcome to read more here.

12/02/2025, 9:52 AMHi @Alon Boshi Boshi (Permit.io),
We currently have a restriction that prevents us from using bulk APIs. The account data we are migrating is received from a third party through our API endpoint, and we synchronize each account individually by invoking the above-mentioned API. Since this is a synchronous process, we are unable to request the third party to provide the account information in bulk.

12/02/2025, 11:38 AMHi @Or Weis i truly appreciate your recommendation but the stakeholders has insisted us to make the process synchronous which means at the same time when they are hitting our APIs the accounts should be synced with permit. Is there any way we can increase Rate or Quota Limits. CC : @Himanshi Gaur

12/02/2025, 11:39 AMSorry, but this is not an option we provide outside of the rate-limit bounds within our Startup tier

12/02/2025, 11:49 AMdoes that mean we will have to upgrade the plan ?

12/02/2025, 11:50 AMWe do consider special requests for enterprise customers. It would still require a technical review to understand the effort and cost to support such a special request
