Is there a login limit for a certain user?

Hi,

I created a "dummy" account to which I login every player, before actually authenticating the player with a specific account.

I do that, in order to retrieve basic publisher data and the execution of a custom cloudscript (Needed to choose the correct title id and player for the specific user) before the actual authentication. Otherwise I would create unnecessary new player accounts for the default title.

Assuming that now hundreds or thousands of people would be authenticated with that one account for approxiametaly 30 - 60 seconds, would that interfere with any existing limit? E.g. Number of simoultanes logins, number of login attempts per minute/hour etc.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

There is a API rate limit but the rate limiting is per IP Address, you can refer to this thread: https://community.playfab.com/questions/52119/login-rate-limit.html. But for different users with different IPs, there may be no limit for login to the same account, unless the users do some update to the same account at the same time, where there could be ConcurrentEditError. Please refer to this thread: https://community.playfab.com/questions/52116/concurrent-edit-error-between-updateuserreadonlyda.html.
