API Stability Deprecated

The addLimit() GraphQL mutation is used to add a limit to a given organization. This mutation field has been deprecated and will be removed at the earliest in version 1.201. Use instead addLimitV2().

For more information on query quotas, see the Query Quotas documentation page. You may also want to look at Limits & Standards for related information.

Syntax

Below is the syntax for the addLimit() mutation field:

graphql
addLimit(
      input: AddLimitInput!
    ): boolean

In the syntax above, you would replace AddLimitInput with arguments required or allowed by that input definition (see table below). A boolean value is always returned that your API client may capture and use.

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Raw
graphql
mutation {
  addLimit(input: 
       {limitName: "limiter2", 
        allowLogin: true, allowSelfService: true,
        dailyIngest: 10000, retention: 30} )
}
