Server API limitations
We planned to create game with asynchronous multiplayer support and using playfab for player specific data and external server for computing battles and other specific tasks.
In our case we need to update a batch of users after battle calculated, possibly thousands.
Question: is there any limitations to server call api? What will be if we will try to update 1000 or more players UserData in one second?

Hello,
There is a general rule of no more than 3 PlayFab API calls per second, this is for all API calls. For updating UserData there is a specific limit of 10 UserData updates per 10 seconds. it is required that this data be stored in the Player's UserData instantly or can this data be store over a longer span of time?
Are you telling about limitations for *one* player? Do you want say that I can't update 100 different players statistics or their internal data in one second in playfab?
To clarify, the limits that have been specified are on a per-player basis, and averaged over the life of the session, a few calls a minute should be your target.
Additionally, no title should be making calls per player at this high of a rate, apart from short bursts. Making calls multiple times per second over a prolonged period will result in your title being throttled.
I didn't understand.
Will be 1000 or more calls per second throttled where each call is for unique player.
To clarify:
1 call per player for thousand players.
