On July 27, 2021, the SEC began limiting automated searches to no more than 10 requests per second no matter the number of machines used to submit requests. This measure ensures that automated searches will not affect other users’ capability to access EDGAR websites, including EDGAR Company Database and EDGAR Portal.
