Agent Scripting API 429 Errors During JMeter Load Spike

  • Is it possible to bypass the standard rate limiting for the /api/v2/agent-scripting/scripts endpoint when pushing high-volume concurrent updates?
  • Running a JMeter test suite to validate script deployment latency across 500 virtual agents.
  • Hit a wall with HTTP 429 Too Many Requests after just 50 concurrent POST calls.
  • The error payload returns "reason": "Rate limit exceeded" with a Retry-After header of 30 seconds.
  • Current setup uses a single service account token for all threads to simplify auth, which might be the bottleneck.
  • Wondering if distributing tokens across multiple service accounts would help, or if there is a specific header to request a higher throughput window for load testing.
  • The documentation mentions platform-wide limits but doesn’t specify if Agent Scripting has separate caps.
  • Environment is Genesys Cloud US-East.
  • JMeter config: Thread Group with 500 users, Ramp-Up 10 seconds, Loop Count 1.
  • Need to confirm if this is a hard limit for the platform_api tier or if we are hitting a WebSocket connection limit on the client side.
  • Any tips on structuring the request payload to minimize overhead? Currently sending minimal JSON bodies.
  • Appreciate any insights on handling these spikes without getting throttled.
