  • You can connect Amazon AppFlow to your Pardot sandbox account in addition to your Pardot production account.

Quotas are enforced on daily requests and concurrent requests at the customer level.Pardot Pro customers are allocated 25,000 API requests a day.Pardot Ultimate customers can make up to 100,000 API requests a day. These limits reset at the beginning of the day based on your account time zone settings. Any request that exceeds these quotas results in an error code 122. Amazon AppFlow handles these error codes transparently.
