NET APIs for use in custom applications - data limitations

What are the usage limits for this API? Only the number of simultaneously subscribed symbols as is in Eikon or are there imposed additional restrictions?

I want to simultaneously request 2500 data points, 10 times a day. Is this possible?

The limit on the number of simultaneous real-time data subscriptions is shared by all applications retrieving data from Eikon including Eikon desktop application, Excel and any applications utilizing Eikon APIs.
Apart from this the only other hardcoded limit is on the number of timeseries rows returned for a single request, which is set at 60K.
You should have no problem retrieving 2500 data points 10 times a day.
