MS Graph Messages post limits

Question

Hi,

What are the limits for sending 1-to-1 messages using the MS Graph API (messages per second)? I cannot find any documentation. The AI feature while posting this question says

The Microsoft Graph API imposes limits on the number of requests an application can make to the API. For 1-to-1 messages, the limit is not specified in the documentation. However, the Outlook service limits apply to the Microsoft Graph API, and the Outlook service limits the number of API requests to 10,000 in a 10-minute period and 4 concurrent requests for v1.0 and beta endpoints. It is possible that exceeding these limits could result in the PreconditionFailed error message you are seeing.

I occasionally get ODataError errors with the message PreconditionFailed when trying to send more than 5 messages in a second.

Regards,

Richard
