Entity API Rate Limits

Good morning!

We're currently using PlayFab for authentication in our title, and are looking to integrate PlayFab into other areas of the game.

The existing Client/Server APIs are rate-limited based on IP address, but some of the newer APIs like the Matchmaking API preview use the Entity Token system and don't have a clear Client/Server label.

Are the Entity-based APIs rate limited based on the Entity Token?

Entity APIs have a general rate limit based on IP address.

While you may also find the entity-specific Limits on [Game Manager] -> [Title Settings] -> [Limits] and search keyword ”entity” on the webpage, for example, “Entity profile updates per 15 seconds”

So all APIs which use Entity Tokens for authentication are rate limited based on IP address?

Match/GetMatch from the new Matchmaking API preview for example doesn't specify whether it is intended to be used client-side or server-side, and the API is designed in such a way that it can be used with any Entity Token. Should I assume that all Entity Token based APIs are client-side only?

You may treat title_player_account entity token as client API and title entity token as server API.
