About rate limits for apps
Rate limits for {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} depend on the plan for the organization where you install the application. For more information, see "{% data variables.product.company_short %}'s products" and "Types of {% data variables.product.company_short %} accounts."

User-to-server requests
{% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} can also act on behalf of a user, making user-to-server requests after the user authorizes the app. For more information, see "Authorizing {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %}" and "Authorizing {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}."
User-to-server requests from {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} are authenticated with an OAuth token. User-to-server requests from {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} are authenticated with either an OAuth token or an expiring user access token. For more information, see "Identifying and authorizing users for {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %}" and "Authorizing {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}."

{% ifversion ghec %}
The rate limits for user-to-server requests made by {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} depend on where the app is installed. If the app is installed on organizations or repositories owned by an enterprise on {% data variables.location.product_location %}, then the rate is higher than for installations outside an enterprise.
