Historical data on first-time integration

When Claude is integrated for the first time, SaaS Manager Plus fetches historical data as follows:

Data type Historical range
License / Billing Up to 1 month of historical data
Usage (API messages) Up to 6 months of historical data
Usage (Claude Code) Up to 6 months of historical data

After the initial sync, subsequent daily syncs fetch data from where the previous sync left off.

API rate limits
Anthropic's Admin API does not impose strict per-minute rate limits on organization management endpoints. However, the initial sync may take several minutes for organizations with high API usage volume across many workspaces and models.

NOTE: API access availability varies by vendor plan and subscription tier. Claude Code usage tracking requires a Claude Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan with Claude Code enabled.
