rateLimits:
  - plan: Community API (RapidAPI)
    description: The ADS-B Exchange Community API accessed via RapidAPI enforces
      a monthly request quota of 10,000 requests for the $10/month plan. Real-time
      aircraft data is updated every 500ms at the source, but individual API
      requests are counted against the monthly quota. Rate limits above the quota
      threshold are enforced by RapidAPI's gateway.
    limits:
      - type: Requests
        period: month
        value: 10000
        note: Monthly quota for $10/month Community plan via RapidAPI
      - type: UpdateFrequency
        period: second
        value: 0.5
        note: Source data refreshed every 500ms; individual requests counted against quota
    notes:
      - Community API is for non-commercial use only
      - Exceeding the 10,000 monthly request limit requires upgrading to a higher tier
      - Enterprise plans have custom rate limits negotiated directly with ADS-B Exchange
      - Commercial use requires an enterprise subscription, not the Community API
      - No per-second or per-minute rate limits are publicly documented for the Community plan

      enterprise subscriptions are customized based on use case and volume requirements,
      negotiated directly with the ADS-B Exchange sales team. Data delivery occurs
      at 500ms or 5-second intervals depending on chosen product.
    limits:
      - type: DataDeliveryInterval
        period: second
