Emailing a Channel // Throttling Limits

[beach_fossil]

Hi everyone,

I was reading the documentation on Emailing a channel and corresponding throttling limits (Limits and specifications for Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn). I'm not sure if I fully understand the 'per user' part of the following:

'The limit is six emails per ten seconds per channel per user and eight emails per ten seconds per tenant per user.'

What does 'per user' in this context even mean?
Looking at just the second part of the statement above - does it basically state that only 8 emails to channels can be sent within 10 seconds over the whole tenant? If yes, then I'm asking myself why the 'per user' part is even included in the statement above...

Would be great if somebody could enlighten me 🙂

Regards
Andreas

I believe they mean the sender as "user" in this context. So the same sender can send maximum of 10 channel emails in 10 seconds overall, which is pretty relaxed as limits go if you ask me.

Thanks Vasil, I guess you must be right. Actually, it's kind of the only option to consider the external sender as the user in this case - I did not even think so far tbh, I thought it must be somehow related to the users within the tenant...
