description: >-
  Botpress Cloud limits incoming messages per plan tier (500/mo PAYG, 50,000/mo Team) and
  vector storage (100MB PAYG, 2GB Team). Per-RPS HTTP limits are not publicly documented;
  AI Spend is metered separately. Self-hosted Botpress has no Botpress-imposed limits.
notes: Plan-tier message and storage caps are the documented scaling levers.
