The short answer

Salesforce increased the default daily API request allocation to 100,000 and removed the 1,000,000 daily request cap for supported editions. The article outlines how total API allocations are calculated and how administrators can monitor daily API usage.

Key takeaways Plan integration volume around the default 100,000 daily API request allocation available to Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, and API-enabled Professional Editions. Calculate your total daily API limit using the formula: 100,000 + (number of licenses x calls per license type) + purchased API Call Add-Ons. Check current 24-hour API consumption by viewing the API Requests, Last 24 Hours field in Company Information under Setup. Track daily consumption trends by running the API Calls Made Within Last 7 Days report under Administrative Reports.
