# Rate Limit Alert

Detects users with a rate limit violation. Okta has several rate-limiting functions for API. In this check, we alert on system.org.rate\_limit.violation and core.concurrency.org.limit.violation and we share which users contributed to the rate violation.<br>

**Recommended Actions**

In most cases, these are service accounts from services that require tuning, such as Oort, Datadog, or Workday. Please check your organizational rate limits based on Okta API rate limit categories.

Consider the following actions: (1) Contact support of Okta to increase rate limit if the operation is required, (2) Contact support of product to see if events can be tuned, (3) Consider moving to EventBridge to collect events.

**Compatibility**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.oort.io/understanding-check-failures/oort-insights/identity-posture-management-insights/rate-limit-alert.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
