Why are some requests to POST Meetings slow to respond?

Question

We need to create multiple meetings at a time. We use the Calendar create event (/v1.0/me/calendars/calendar_id/events) endpoint without issue 99% of the time and almost all requests are finished within < 100ms.

On a very small subset of requests, we're seeing response times up to 10s per request. Because we schedule multiple meetings for our client, each meeting taking 10s can mean a 50s delay and cause timeouts.

We've tried to find a commonality between these requests, but there doesn't seem to be any. How can we have someone from Outlook take a look at these requests and provide us details on why it took so long to respond?

Hi @Tech Greenhouse

Please refer to these documentation for best practice and throttling limit for graph API

As you have mentioned that this is an intermittent issue, I would recommend you raise a support case with Microsoft Graph, a Support Engineer will be able to assist you better. You can raise support ticket from

Hope this helps.
