Running Anonymous Apex error: This org has reached its daily usage limit of apex log headers

Question

I am running updates via sfdx commands by sending an .apex file. The command looks like this:

sfdx force:apex:execute -f <myFile.apex> <my_org_credentials>

After running 1000 of these, I am getting this error:

This org has reached its daily usage limit of apex log headers.

I have checked all debug log configurations and emptied the ApexLog table still getting this error. It seems to me like I have reached some kind of a threshold internal to Salesforce and above mentioned is a "catch all" error.

Has anyone seen this error before? Any idea how to get around this?

Answer 1

This is what Salesforce came back with:

I have also checked for customer facing documentation. But couldn't locate any. I found an internal documentation at our end. For some clarity, I am sharing with you the content of the same.

DebuggingHeader is used to return the debug log in the output header.

Link: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/sforce_api_header_debuggingheader.htm

The default for this limit is 1000 per 24hr period.

While there may be a valid reasons customer is hitting this limit a possible unintentional cause is from excessive usage of execute anonymous apex code.

Link: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexcode.meta/apexcode/sforce_api_calls_executeanonymous.htm

They do not increase this limit as they do in certain cases.

In short, don't run 1000 anonymous apex within 24 hours.
