If you experience a high volume of support requests, repeatedly calling a command such as get_logged_in_reps or get_support_teams might bottleneck your system. Therefore, a best practice is to not request a list of representatives or teams with each support request. Instead, if making the same API call in succession, consider caching the results for a period of time and reusing them. New sessions requests should reference the cached list instead of calling for the list each time.
