  httpStatusCode: 429
  description: >
    Requests exceeding the rate limit are dropped. Exceeding the threshold does
    not result in API key suspension. Rate limits are enforced per server per
    IP address (not per account).

  - scope: global
    metric: requests
    limit: 5
    timeFrame: second
    description: >
      All API requests are limited to 5 per second per IP address. This is an
      IP-based limit, not account-based. More granular per-account rate limiting
      is planned for a future release.
notes:
  - >
    Rate limits are enforced per server per IP address. Exceeding the rate limit
    causes subsequent API calls to be dropped silently (no key suspension).
  - >
    All API requests must be made over HTTPS. Calls over plain HTTP will fail
    with a 301 redirect response.
