Hi @Rajeshkumar.L ,

To improve the performance while using calendarView Graph API please follow the below best practices:

• Select :- Use $select on the API so that we can exclude properties which we don't need as part of results, It will intern results faster response.
  Example : $select=Id,ChangeKey,Categories,OriginalStartTimeZone,OriginalEndTimeZone,iCalUId,HasAttachments,
  Subject,IsCancelled,IsOrganizer,ResponseRequested,SeriesMasterId,ShowAs,Type,IsDraft,Start,End.
• Numerous Events:- Can you please confirm how many recurring events do you see from the calendar view.
  Example :
  Two recurring Events in a week
  Five Recurring events in a week
  X Recurring events in a week
• Top/Skip Use $skip and/or $top in the API query parameters doesn't necessarily skip the calculations needed for getting the
  results for this API.
  Hence, If a larger window of Calendar View is to be queried, please make sure calendar view API calls with
  different time windows, rather than using a larger time window and relying on $skip and $top.
