Maximum rate of provisioing Sharepoint sites
Lalit Mohan I believe the API limits are not available publicly.
Regarding PnP provisioning (I think this was the second part of you reply, apologies if not), you can use this as a starting point:
I have worked in some projects with similar challenges and there is generally some work that can be done in advance to minimize the load on the APIs when the bulk of the work needs to take place.
For example, create blank sites in advance, provision blank lists/libraries, provision some custom fields/content types, etc...

- thanks that is helpful and much appreciated, share any example code if it is shareable ...
Lalit Mohan I don't have anything particularly useful worth sharing. All the main features that I took advantage from are available from PnP provisioning and that project is well documented to help you get started.
So, Joel Rodrigues, what you're saying is:
- There is no hard and fast daily limit for how many site collections can be provisioned
- The provisioning limitation is more of a throttling of API calls, which can vary based on numerous factors in and out of our control
- MSFT recommends using PnP provisioning as a best practice to handle exponential back-off based on detected throttling.
Did I understand all of that correctly?
