We have 6000+ active domains right now. With the domain sync cron set to run every hour (the most frequent available setting) and syncing 50 domains only it will take it roughly 5 days to sync them all.
Allowing us to run it more frequent and/or sync more than 50 domains at a time would be super helpful.

WHMCS Team Clarification:
To benefit the most number of users, we're adding this clarification that the request's scope is being broadened to allow customisation of the domain sync batch size.
Allowing the batch size to be customised, could simultaneously meet the needs of users who need to sync fewer than 50 domains and also users who need to sync more.

Question related to this topic have also been brought up several times to our Support (HEXONET). Resellers with a larger domain portfolio really need a lot of time until data is completely synced. We at HEXONET have a Quota System in Place. But, the API Commands used in the Domain Synchronization do even not affect this Quota System. Therefore we would highly enjoy having more customizing possibilities regarding the Sync Automation Settings.
Some of our Resellers started automating using a custom script that is just invoking the sync from command line in a loop e.g. 5 x 50 = 250 domains per run.
If the most of the registrars are not affected by such a limitation, it would of course be a bad idea to apply restrictions in general - a disadvantage for the majority then. But, I have no statistics insights regarding that matter - therefore, adding more flexibility would be just great.
Thanks

I think a way around this would be a simple box in automation settings to set a maximum limit - per active registrar module.
That would allow people to use a "default" recommended limit, or increase it further if required/able to.

We are interested in collecting feedback to hear if your registrar applies such rate limits and what those limits are (if known).
This script basically overrides the value "Domain Status Sync Frequency" set in WHMCS and forces a Domain status sync at every cron job, which is by default every 5 minutes. This way you can sync 600 domains per hour.
