Performance considerations
PayPal transaction API has some limits:
start_date_min= 3 years, API call lists transaction for the previous three years.start_date_max= 1.5 days, it takes a maximum of three hours for executed transactions to appear in the list transactions call. It is set to 1.5 days by default based on experience, otherwise API throw an error.stream_slice_period= 7 day, the maximum supported date range is 31 days.records_per_request= 10000, the maximum number of records in a single request.page_size= 500, the maximum page size is 500.requests_per_minute= 30, maximum limit is 50 requests per minute from IP address to all endpoint
By default, syncs are performed with a slice period of 7 days. If you see errors with the message Result set size is greater than the maximum limit. Change the filter criteria and try again., lower the size of the slice period in your source configuration.
Troubleshooting
Max number of tables that can be synced at a time is 6,000. We advise you to adjust your settings if it fails to fetch schema due to max number of tables reached.
