description: >
  Beatoven.ai does not publicly document per-API request, concurrency, or
  token-bucket rate-limit policies for the public Composition API. Limits
  are issued per-customer when the API key is provisioned; contact
  hello@beatoven.ai for the quota assigned to your key. The web product
  enforces downloadable-minute quotas per subscription plan.

algorithm: undocumented
responseCodes:
  badRequest: 400
  unauthorized: 401
  serverError: 500
notes:
  - The public API spec on GitHub documents 400, 401, and 500 response codes but does not document a 429 throttling response.
  - Composition is asynchronous; clients should poll GET /api/v1/tasks/{task_id} rather than retry POST /api/v1/tracks/compose.
