Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Modify the activation batch size or adjust the scheduling frequency to spread out API calls and respect third-party rate limits.
When an activation target rate limit is exceeded, the consultant should throttle the export batch size, stagger activation schedules, or request an API rate limit increase from the target platform vendor.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increase the Data Cloud DMO storage capacity limit.
Why it's wrong here
Rate limits are imposed by external target APIs, not Data Cloud data storage capacity.
- ✗
Switch the activation target from batch to real-time streaming.
Why it's wrong here
Streaming increases request frequency, which would exacerbate rate limit violations.
- ✗
Delete and recreate the Identity Resolution ruleset.
Why it's wrong here
Identity resolution has no impact on external API rate limits during activation exports.
- ✓
Modify the activation batch size or adjust the scheduling frequency to spread out API calls and respect third-party rate limits.
Why this is correct
Throttling requests and adjusting schedules prevents overwhelming the external platform's API rate limits.
