What is the default access payload limit for Dynatrace SaaS API?

In Dynatrace, the default access payload limit for the SaaS API is set to 1 MB. This limit is significant because it determines the maximum size of data that can be transmitted in a single request to the API. This cap is designed to balance performance with functionality, allowing users to retrieve a substantial amount of data without overwhelming the system or causing delays in processing.

Having a 1 MB limit ensures that most use cases involving fetching metrics, events, or configuration data remain efficient and manageable. This limit is critical for users developing integrations or automating processes with the Dynatrace API, as they can design their requests to fit within this size constraint while still retrieving meaningful data for analysis or reporting.

Understanding this limit helps in planning data retrieval operations, especially when dealing with large datasets or aggregating multiple requests. If requests exceed this limit, users would need to implement batching or pagination strategies to ensure successful data retrieval.
