How to fetch user engagement for rate limits if page_engaged_users to be deprecated in March, 2024?
5

We have thus far used the page_engaged_users metric to determine Facebook Pages rate limits as stated in the documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/rate-limiting/#pages (number of engaged users is required).

We have also received a notification: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages-api/changelog/ that this metric is planned for deprecation in March, 2024.

Is there an alternative metric to get the number of engaged users?

We also use the "page_engaged_users" metric to implement FB Page rate limiting too as they documented here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/rate-limiting#pages

Curious as to whether FB will provide an alternative to the metric.

I wonder if FB will ask users to use the "X-Business-Use-Case" response header (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/overview/rate-limiting#headers-2) as an alternative to the

4800 x "no. of engaged users"

calculation

Looks like they just rolled out those breaking changes yesterday, and I'm seeing this new error I've never seen before when requesting the page_engaged_users metric:

 The value must be a valid insights metric

Dang. Wondering how to migrate this?

We have the same issue and we don't know how to replace the call to page_engaged_users.
