With the cross-org adapter, Salesforce Connect uses Lightning Platform REST API calls
to access records in other Salesforce orgs. Depending on how the external object is
accessed, each call counts toward the API usage limits of only the provider org or of both
provider and subscriber orgs.

When a user accesses an external object in one of the following ways, the Lightning
Platform REST API call counts toward the API usage limits of the provider org.
- Opening a list view of external object records
- Viewing an external object record detail page
- Viewing a parent object record that contains an external object related list
- Viewing a child object record that contains an external lookup field
- Executing a search that also searches external objects
- Accessing an external object from a flow, Visualforce page, Apex class, or Apex
trigger
- Creating, editing, or deleting an external object record
- Running a report
- Editing a report and causing the preview to load in the report builder
If a user or system accesses an external object through the SOAP API, Bulk API, or
Lightning Platform REST API, that access counts toward the API usage limits of both the
subscriber org and the provider org.
