I know there is a limit on how many games you could activate via steam client (something like 30-50 games in one hour??)

So the question is, is there a limit on how many games can be activated via web page Activate a Product on Steam AT ONCE using Enhanced Steam?

I have few games that need to be activated and I don't want to mess up using bulk activation option.

Is there a limit?

x. I like clicking poll answers
B. I don't know
R. DON'T CLICK THIS UNLESS 100% SURE: I activated 500 games at once and seems there is no limit
N. Yes. It limited to ** games activations per hour.
f. OP, you can't be that lazy!? Why don't you test it for yourself and tell me, because I always wanted to know that!

1, if you can do more it's because of Enhanced Steam or a similar extension. Dont know the limit for that though.

The limit is probably just that 30-50 limit per hour from Steam, it doesn't look like there is any limit from ES itself. It will just attempt to activate each key, and if some keys failed to activate you should get a message telling you if it's because you activated too many keys, already own the game, ...

50 activations and I think 10 failed attempts per hour. I am sure about the 50 due to steamdb and it's free package script.

That helps. I guess I have to prepare 50 key bundles for activation.

As far as I know 25 games per hour and it is equal if you use steam client or browser.

50 successful (redeemed) attempts or 10 failed (anything else), whichever comes first, calculated from first try and rate-limited for a full hour afterwards. Steam allows to activate only one key at once, although it wouldn't be a problem to write a simple script that goes in a loop with all of them.

I analyzed internals deeply for BGR feature that I coded for ASF, you might find that one helpful since it matches your expectations perfectly.

I'm pretty sure we can rely on JustArchi's expertise in this matter, so here's a simple bump :)

Most I've done in a day is around 75, had to sit and wait ~45m-1hr once.
I suspect that also attempting to activate invalid keys makes it more likely to give you a time out.
