I'm writing a story in limited onmiscient by several characters. Who the "omniscience" of it is limited to changes every three to ten pages. I.e. the perspective changes frequently. Is this too much switching around or does it matter?

It depends. Are the sections of the story before each switch sufficient enough to keep the reader interested? Do we get information or something to grasp onto in each section?

You might consider interspersing longer sections here or there to keep it less rigid and more fluid. That might help strengthen your characters and your narrative focus.
