  Baserow Cloud enforces a maximum of 10 concurrent API requests per workspace
  under a fair use policy. The hosted version applies a rate limit of 20 requests
  per second. Self-hosted deployments have no rate limits applied. Baserow reserves
  the right to temporarily deactivate accounts that excessively impact platform
  performance.
