description: >-
  Deep Lake's primary interface is the open-source Python SDK operating against
  local or self-managed cloud storage, where throughput is bounded by your own
  storage and compute rather than a provider rate limit. The managed Activeloop
  Cloud and its alpha Managed Database REST query endpoint
  (https://app.activeloop.ai/api/query/v1) are gated by account tier and an
  ACTIVELOOP_TOKEN; Activeloop does not publish specific per-account request or
  query rate limits. Values are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public rate-limit table is documented. Managed-cloud throughput, query
  concurrency, and storage caps follow the account tier (Basic / Scale /
  Enterprise). The REST query endpoint is Alpha and may change without notice;
  verify any limits with Activeloop during reconciliation.
