Asked a provider for an endpoint that returns customer usage

Provider sends back an endpoint that takes 1 minute to return one days worth of data for 1 customer and asks we limit concurrency to 3... we have 3000+ customers with them

(1 minute * 3000 customers) / 3 = 16 hours to pull yesterday's numbers

Hope we don't get behind

    Is the timeframe hardcoded on the api hardcodes and if not is the time required proportional?

    Wtf?! If it's that crap it should never be released as a public endpoint, or heck even an internal one. If I tried to publish an endpoint and said "ohh but btw it takes a minute or so to respond and we've only got capacity to do a few requests at once" I'd be told to sod off and do it properly.

    @Root If it's anything like the last place I worked, they probably have Devs who don't know what an index is in a DB.
