That's amazing, Shawn! Thank you!

Amazing, I like that! Finally it will be easier to identify applications that use a lot of API calls or might not work efficiently with the API.

Thank you!

I just looked at it on one of the orgs we manage, it has > 400 networks and >3000 devices, month to date it is showing 0 rate limits on c. 250,000 calls.

These calls are mostly issued in bursts at 0100 UTC. I'm surprised that there are 0 rate limits. Is it correct? Or maybe I have done an excellent job of making my scripts pace themselves 😀

Impressive! You’re managing your budget extremely well.

After digging a bit deeper , the stats look accurate. 

From Jan 24 - Feb 24 = getOrganizationSummaryTopAppliancesByUtilization shows 10 HTTP 429. My client logs also show 10 HTTP 429.

Finally, a reason to set the User-Agent string.  🙂
