Archive enforces request rate limits for Data Query and Unarchive operations to maintain system stability and performance. If you exceed a limit, the system returns status code 429 and requires you to wait before retrying.
Where: This change applies to Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions. These limits apply to both Archive 2.0 (Apex) and the Archive managed package (SDK).
When: Effective Summer '26
Why: Archive enforces these rate limits to maintain system stability:
- Apex Data Query: 1,000 requests per minute, 30,000 requests per hour, 100,000 requests per day (per org). Wait until the next interval if you hit a limit.
- Apex Unarchive: 50 requests per hour (per org). Wait 1 hour before retrying if you hit this limit.
How: These limits are automatically enforced. When designing integrations, handle rate limit responses by implementing retry logic with appropriate wait times.
