Can the 5,000 EPS limit for Unitary Events in AJO be reduced?

Hi everyone, we’re working with Unitary Events and we understand from the documentation that the ingestion limit is 5,000 events per second.

Our question is:

  • Is this limit configurable in any way (for example, reducing it to 1,000 EPS for operational control), or is it a fixed platform guardrail managed entirely by Adobe?

We’re not looking to increase the limit, only to understand whether it can be lowered at the AJO/AEP level, or if rate limiting must be handled entirely on the event producer side.

Thanks in advance!

    ​@Silvio6 The 5,000 tps limit is a platform-level guardrail managed by Adobe. You cannot lower that cap within AJO or AEP itself. If you need a lower rate limit, you'll have to set that up "upstream" with the event producer before the data even gets to AJO/AEP.

    Thanks, Sathees

    The 5,000 EPS limit for Unitary Events in AJO is a fixed, platform‑level guardrail and cannot be configured.
    If you require lower throughput, throttling must be implemented by the event producer or via an intermediate buffer (example custom action) as AJO does not provide internal controls to slow or rate-limit Unitary Event ingestion.
