I'm using this graph api to read membership of a group:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/group-id/transitiveMembers

I was going through https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/throttling-limits#pattern to understand the cost associated with this api.

Let's say I need to read 200K users from a group. This API returns 999 users per page ($top parameter maximum limit is 999). Base cost is 5.

So, the cost associated per page is 5. Does that mean the cost for reading 200K users is:

(200K/999)*5 = ~1000

Is my understanding correct?

The doc also says limit of 8,000 requests per 10 seconds

In my above example, 1 request gets 999 users

to get 200K users, a total of ~200 requests. Is my understanding correct?
