A transaction is an API call with a request payload size of up to 1,000 data points included in the time series. Each increment of 1,000 data points will be counted as an additional transaction. For example, an API call with request payload size == 2,050 is 3 transactions. The maximum request payload size is 8,640 data points. Each data point in time series is a time stamp/numerical value pair.
