Understanding the Limits

For contacts, the limit is typically outlined in the contract. It is essential to review the contract to understand the contact limits for your specific organization.

Regarding API usage, the limits are high, but it is crucial to be aware of them to avoid any issues. The API limits can be found in the Salesforce documentation, which provides information on time-based limits and recommends a limit of 120,000 calls per hour for REST API calls and 600 calls per minute for SOAP calls.

For storage, there is no specific limit that we are aware of, but it is essential to monitor storage usage to ensure that it does not become an issue.

Business units are also limited, and this information can be found in the contract. It is crucial to strike a balance between using the necessary business units and not using too many, as they can be expensive.

Locating the Information

To find the number of contacts, you can go into the parent business unit and then contact builder and drill down from there.

The root cause of this issue is the lack of a central location for finding limits in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. This can make it challenging for users to find the information they need.

Best Practices

To ensure that you are aware of the limits and can plan accordingly, it is essential to review your contract, monitor your API usage, and keep track of your storage and business unit usage.
