Aura API rate limiting update!
- Retrieve the token once per hour: As tokens remain valid for an hour, reduce the frequency of token requests and reuse the same token for multiple API calls.
- Implement token caching: Store the token securely within your system to reuse it for subsequent requests during its validity period, minimizing unnecessary calls to the endpoint.

AuraDB Exportable Snapshot Format Change
- The file format of snapshots exported* from Neo4j Version 5 Aura instances of all tiers (Free, Professional, Business Critical and Virtual Dedicated Cloud) has changed from dump to backup.
- Previously, when exporting an Aura snapshot, you received a dump file format locally, which is named neo4j-dump(1), -dump(2), -dump(3) and so on. After this change, the file format is now backup, and the file name will contain the UTC timestamp when the snapshot is requested, so you can easily distinguish exported files from one another.
- You will no longer be able to import Aura v5 snapshots to Neo4j self managed deployments in a version prior to 5.20.
- When importing data to Aura using neo4j-admin database upload, you should make sure the file containing data to be restored does not exist in a folder that contains another dump file with the same file name, as the command will attempt to upload both files to the same instance and breaks.
- Same tenant: Follow “Clone to New/Existing” workflow on Console.
- Different tenant: Export snapshot as dump and use neo4j-admin database upload to import snapshot. Snapshot files smaller than 4GB can be imported using Import Database on Aura console.
