Service account rate limits
1Password Service Accounts have hourly limits and daily limits. Hourly limits control the number of read and write actions a service account can perform within a 60-minute window. Daily limits determine the total number of requests that all service accounts within a 1Password account can make in a 24-hour window. Some 1Password CLI commands make more than one request.
You can use op service-account ratelimit to get rate limit usage data for the service account currently set with the OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN environment variable.
To get information about a specific service account, specify a service account by its name or ID.

Hourly limits
Service account tokens have hourly limits applied to both read and write actions independently. The 60-minute time window begins after 1Password receives the first request.
Your 1Password account type determines the hourly limits.
| Account type | Action | Limit | Period | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1Password Business | Read | 10,000 | 1 hour | Per service account token |
| Write | 1,000 | 1 hour | Per service account token | |
| 1Password, 1Password Families, and 1Password Teams | Read | 1,000 | 1 hour | Per service account token |
| Write | 100 | 1 hour | Per service account token |
