description: >-
  Apidog has not published explicit per-second / per-minute / per-month rate
  limits for its public REST API at https://api.apidog.com. Documented
  controls are instead tied to plan-level seat counts, project counts,
  sprint-branch counts, and scheduled-task frequency. This file captures the
  shape of those plan-level limits along with the standard 429 / Retry-After
  signaling expected on the platform. Replace with provider-published
  per-key limits if and when Apidog publishes them.

policies:
  - name: Backoff Strategy
    description: >-
      Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor the
      Retry-After header when a 429 response is returned.
  - name: Quota Reset
    description: >-
      Plan-level entitlements (projects, members, branches) are persistent
      and reset only on plan change. Scheduled-task and request-history
      windows reset on a rolling basis aligned to the documented timeFrame.
  - name: Fair Use
    description: >-
      Sustained automation against the public Apidog REST API that
      materially impacts shared infrastructure may be subject to fair-use
      throttling even when no explicit per-key limit is published.
  - name: Versioning
    description: >-
      Requests must send the X-Apidog-Api-Version header. Apidog supports
      previous versions for at least three months after a newer version is
      released.
