description: >-
  AnyImageDetector publishes one hard rate limit: 1 request per second per API key, on the
  single /v1/image/detect endpoint. Exceeding it returns 429 too_many_requests with a
  Retry-After header in seconds. The Pro plan advertises a "higher rate limit" and Enterprise
  advertises custom volume, but neither number is published — only the baseline is a stated
  figure. Quota is separately enforced as monthly credits (see plans/).

  retryAfter: Retry-After
  note: >-
    Retry-After is the ONLY runtime rate-limit signal the provider documents. There are no
    X-RateLimit-* or RFC 9239 RateLimit-* headers, so a client cannot see remaining budget
    before it is exhausted — it can only react after a 429.

undocumented:
  - >-
    The Pro plan's "Higher rate limit" is advertised on the pricing page with no number
    attached, so the effective per-second ceiling on Pro is unknown to a buyer before purchase.
  - >-
    Enterprise "Custom volume" and SLA terms are not published.
quotas:
  note: >-
    Monthly detection quota is a plan entitlement, not a rate limit; 1 credit per successful
    detection, shared with the web tool. See plans/anyimagedetector-plans-pricing.yml.
