I did not change any default value until I met an exact problem with [Worker overload](https://forum.genieacs.com/t/worker-overload/607)

> 2020-02-17T09:22:17.249Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=2 totalRequests=2 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1244  
> 2020-02-17T09:22:27.232Z [WARN] Worker overloaded; droppedRequests=5 totalRequests=5 initiatedSessions=0 pid=1243

I did not know the background of changing MAX\_CONCURRENT\_REQUESTS from default 20 to 200 can solve the problem. I guess that it could relate to the Server capacity (RAM. CPU) and the number of connected CPEs. This is the reason why I created this topic.

I had ~ 10k connected CPE, and inform every hour, 16 vCPU with 32GB of RAM.

According to @akcoder information, can I set MAX\_CONCURRENT\_REQUESTS = (10/3.5 \* 30) = 86 for 10K CPE? (just compared the number of connected CPE)?  
or MAX\_CONCURRENT\_REQUESTS = 2 \* 30 = 60 (when comparing CPU specs?)

Thank you!
