description: >-
  Autoderm meters by DETECTION (one inference call), not by requests per
  second. Entitlement is a monthly detection allowance attached to the plan;
  on the Basic plan, exceeding it does not throttle the caller — it bills
  $1.00 per additional call. No rate-limit response headers are documented and
  none were observed on live 200 or 401 responses probed 2026-08-09, so a
  client has no in-band signal of remaining quota.
