Does ProBackup consume my API calls?

This article explains whether ProBackup affects your app's API usage or performance.

How ProBackup accesses your data

To back up your data, ProBackup connects to your app (e.g. Asana, ClickUp, monday.com) through its API. An API is the standard way for external tools to read data from an app.

Most apps set limits on how many requests can be made within a certain time period. These limits help ensure the app stays fast and responsive for all users.

Does ProBackup count toward your limit?

No. ProBackup uses its own separate allocation, provided by the app, to back up your data. This means:

  • Your own API usage is not affected.

  • Any integrations or automations you run will continue to work as normal.

  • ProBackup's backup activity does not slow down your app or reduce your available API capacity.

In short, ProBackup operates in its own lane and does not compete with your other tools or workflows for API access.
