Increasing Microsoft Graph Per-Mailbox Throttling Limits (PUT/POST/PATCH & Concurrency)
I am referring to the per-mailbox throttling limits documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling-limits#limits-per-mailbox
Specifically:
- 150 MB limit for PUT/POST/PATCH requests within a 5-minute window
- 4 concurrent requests per mailbox
In a multi-tenant SaaS application scenario, these limits can become restrictive when processing large volumes of mailbox data.
I would like clarification on the following:
- Is it possible to request an increase in these per-mailbox limits through Microsoft (e.g., via support or a formal quota increase request)?
- Are there recommended architectural patterns or best practices to efficiently handle high-throughput scenarios while staying within these limits?
- Can tenant administrators (our customers) configure or influence these limits through Microsoft 365 admin settings?
Any official guidance or recommendations would be highly appreciated
