description: Boltic does not publish per-second or per-minute API rate limits in its public documentation
  or pricing page. The principal published quota is the monthly workflow execution allowance per plan
  tier. Consumers should treat the per-tier execution count as the binding constraint and apply standard
  exponential backoff on any 429 or 503 responses.

notes: Boltic does not publish HTTP-level rate-limit numbers; documented quotas are monthly workflow executions
  bound to subscription tier. Reconcile with provider once per-second / burst limits are published.

    description: Apply exponential backoff with jitter on 429 and 503 responses; honor any Retry-After
      header when present.
  - name: Quota Reset
    description: Workflow execution quotas reset on a calendar-month basis aligned with the billing cycle.
  - name: Tier-Bound Quotas
    description: Execution capacity scales with the subscription tier (Free, Growth, Business, Enterprise);
      sustained overage requires upgrade or Enterprise contract.
  - name: Fair Use
    description: Even on Enterprise tiers, sustained traffic that materially affects shared infrastructure
      may be subject to fair-use review.
