AWS SES: API rate limits on calling SendEmail

I plan to send personalized emails to multiple recipients via AWS SES.

Amazon recommends here to call multiple times the SendEmail method, once for every recipient, instead of just one single call including all recipients at once. However, I'm afraid to hit some API rate limit when calling this method multiple times as they suggest.

They also state here that:

All actions (except for SendEmail, SendRawEmail, and SendTemplatedEmail) are throttled at one request per second.

without specifying the actual limit for the above-mentioned methods, which I haven't been able to find somewhere else.

Does anyone know what is the actual rate limit when calling SendEmail?

You can retrieve this information from the AWS SES dashboard or by using the GetSendQuota API.

The GetSendQuota returns the following:

  • Number of emails you have sent during the past 24 hours
  • Sending quota for the current 24-hour period
  • Maximum send rate

Maximum send rate determines the no. of mails you can send per second.

You can apply for increasing the quota (i.e; both no. of emails you are allowed to send per second and max. send rate). More info on the same here.

Attaching the screenshot of SES dashboard for reference.
