+Microsoft Entra ID throttles applications when you call the authentication API too frequently. Most often this happens when **token caching** is misused:
 
-1. Token caching is not setup correctly (see [Token cache serialization](/azure/active-directory/develop/msal-net-token-cache-serialization)).
-2. Not calling <xref:Microsoft.Identity.Client.ClientApplicationBase.AcquireTokenSilent(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable{System.String},System.String)> before calling <xref:Microsoft.Identity.Client.IPublicClientApplication.AcquireTokenInteractive(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable{System.String})>, <xref:Microsoft.Identity.Client.IPublicClientApplication.AcquireTokenByUsernamePassword(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable{System.String},System.String,System.String)>.
-3. If you are asking for a scope which does not apply to Microsoft Account (MSA) users, such as `User.ReadBasic.All`, resulting in cache misses.

+3. It can also happen in the rare case where an application asks for a scope which does not apply to Microsoft Account (MSA) users, such as `User.ReadBasic.All`. This results in token cache misses.
 
 The server signals throttling in two ways:
