We do the notarization of our artifacts as part of our build pipeline, to make sure that the final artifacts that we want to distribute to users are passing the tests that are designed to emulate the users' behaviour as close as possible. We just want to make sure that Apple does not put any restrictions on the number of artifacts/requests that we sent to the notary service to be notarized. The closest documentation I found is this post on the Apple developer forum.

Is there official documentation we can refer to in that regard?

Just to note, so far we have never had any issue with Apple limiting us on a number of artifacts we send for notarization.

The only official doc that I’m aware of is Avoid Long Notarization Response Times and Size Limits section of Customizing the Notarization Workflow. If you’re consistently above that limit I recommend that you adjust your workflow to comply with it.

Thank you for the answer. I have not seen this before. Are there details about it? I am interested mostly

What is the throttling based on? Is this 75 per day limit based on account? Or based on a code signing key?
Do the client tools - altool or notarytool have client side verification. I. E. The client tool checks if requirements are met for the artifact without sending it to the service.
