Ingest limits

When you publish MSL5 streams, you need to adhere to these ingest rate limits to avoid disruption of stream delivery to your viewers. Breaching the ingest limits can cause disruption to the stream delivery for your viewers, so you must configure your encoder to adhere to these guidelines. If you exceed these limitations, an error response will be sent to the encoder.

🚧

The ingest rate limits apply when there is one event per stream. Implementing multiple events per stream may impact performance of the media stream and archiving.
