API Consumption

API Consumption allows you to control the limits for downloading files and using the bulk API separately.

Before increasing the limit, we suggest checking the API consumption limit in your environment to make sure you're within the allowed API limit.

If you get a warning for missing files and attachments, look at your API limits and increase them based on your organization's daily allowed API.
