- There are throttling limits for large-scale remediations that help ensure stability and performance of the service:
31+
- **Organization limits**: The maximum number of active, concurrent email remediations is 50. Once the limit is reached. no new remediations are triggered until some actions are completed.
32+
- **Email message limits**: If an active remediation involves more than one million email messages, no new email remediations are allowed.
33+
- **Recipient requirements in remediations**: The total percentage of selected recipients must be at least 40% of the total email message count in the remediation. For example, if the remediation requires the deletion of 5000 email messages, the remediation must target at least 2000 recipients.
34+
- If the recipient count is less than 40% of the total email message count, ensure that the percentage of email messages per recipient doesn't exceed 20% of the total number of email messages submitted.
35+
- If the recipient count is less than 40% of the total email message count, the remediation can't be used to delete more than 1000 messages that were sent to a single recipient.
