description: >-
  Athina AI does not publish explicit numeric request-per-minute rate limits in
  its public API reference. The primary usage constraint is the per-plan monthly
  log allowance (10k logs/month on the free tier; unlimited on Pro and
  Enterprise). Dataset writes are bounded by a 1000-row-per-dataset cap and an
  add-rows batch limit. Specific per-endpoint throttling values are not
  documented and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No documented RPM/TPM values were found; treat plan log allowances and the
  dataset row cap as the effective limits. Verify any per-endpoint throttling
  in the Athina platform or with Athina support during reconciliation.
