Learn about the allocations available for platform event definitions, publishing and subscribing to platform events, and event delivery in Pub/Sub API clients, CometD clients, empApi Lightning components, and event relays.
Setup with Agentforce can help you manage platform event usage more efficiently. For more information, see Setup with Agentforce and Events in Setup with Agentforce.

Which Type of Platform Events Do Allocations Apply to?
Platform events can be custom events, which are platform events that you define, or standard events, which are the events that Salesforce defines, including Real-Time Event Monitoring events.
-
Common Platform Event Allocations
Common allocations include allocations for platform event definitions, concurrent CometD clients, and allocations for processes and flows. The common allocations apply to standard-volume and high-volume platform events.
-
Default Platform Event Allocations for Event Publishing and Delivery
If your org has no add-on licenses, default allocations apply for event publishing and delivery that can’t be exceeded. The default allocations are enforced to ensure fair sharing of resources in the multitenant environment and to protect the service.
-
Increase Your Event Delivery and Publishing Allocations with a Platform Event Add-On License
To increase your event delivery allocation for Pub/Sub API, CometD, empApi Lightning components, and event relays, purchase an add-on for additional platform events. The add-on moves your event delivery usage to a monthly usage-based entitlement model and allows for spikes in usage. To purchase an add-on, contact your Salesforce Account Representative.
-
Monitor Event Usage Against Your Allocations
Check your event publishing and delivery usage and maximum allocation in Setup, or using REST API or Apex.
-
Monitor Hourly Event Delivery Usage with REST API
Get the hourly delivery usage by periodically retrieving the daily event delivery usage using REST API.
-
Monitor Event Usage with SOQL Queries by Using PlatformEventUsageMetric
Perform a SOQL query on PlatformEventUsageMetric to get visibility into your event usage and usage trends. With enhanced usage metrics, you can view separate and combined metrics for platform events and change data capture events. Break down usage metrics by event name, client ID, event type, and usage type, and get usage data by granular time segments. PlatformEventUsageMetric data is available for CometD and Pub/Sub API clients, empApi Lightning components, and event relays.
-
Standard-Volume Platform Event Allocations
These allocations are for standard-volume events defined in API version 44.0 and earlier.
