SharePoint API Limits

When migrating data into, out of, or within SharePoint Online, Microsoft enforces strict throttling limits to ensure fair usage across tenants. These limits scale depending on how many licenses you have.


What Are Resource Units?

Resource Units (RUs) are how Microsoft measures the cost of API operations. Each action your migration tool performs consumes a specific number of RUs.
