The rate limit for {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} using an installation access token scales with the number of repositories and number of organization users. Conversely, {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} have lower rate limits and do not scale.

If your application exceeds this limit, further requests to generate new access tokens will be temporarily blocked, and you may receive error responses. **This can lead to temporary outages**. Please plan your implementation accordingly to avoid potential service interruptions. + ## About rate limits for {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} act on behalf of a user, by making requests with a user access token after the user authorizes the app. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/authorizing-oauth-apps).
