Once on the “Monitoring” page, scroll down and you will find a section for
“API Usage.” This section will provide information about your total number of
calls, daily average, peak usage as well as your current limit.
Step 4: Adjust Your API Limit if Needed
If you find that your API limit is too low or too high for your needs, you can
adjust it accordingly by clicking on the “Edit Limit” button next to the
current limit. You can then choose to either increase or decrease your limit
depending on what works best for you.
Step 5: Monitor Your API Usage
After adjusting your limit, it is important to keep an eye on your API usage
in order to make sure that you do not exceed the limit. This can be done by
periodically checking the “API Usage” section of the “Monitoring” page, which
will show you a graph with your daily and weekly usage as well as any peak
values.
Step 6: Receive Notifications for Limit Exceeded
If you are worried about exceeding your Salesforce API limits, then you can
enable notifications so that you will receive an email when the limit is
exceeded. To enable this notification, click on the “Notify Me When Limit Is
Reached” button on the “API Usage” page and set the limit to the desired
value.
Step 7: Use APIs with caution
When using Salesforce APIs, it is important to use them with caution in order
to avoid exceeding your API limits. Try to limit the number of calls you make
per day and monitor your usage closely so that you do not exceed your
limits.
Step 8: Optimize Your API Requests
Another way to reduce API usage is by optimizing your API requests. This can
be done by making sure that you are only requesting the necessary data from
the server and avoiding any unnecessary requests.

Salesforce offers performance tuning tools such as the Apex Execution Log
Analyzer and the API Usage Profiler which can help you to identify any issues
with your code or optimize your API requests.
