description: >-
  Bruno is a client-side developer tool and operates no hosted public API, so
  there are no server-side request-rate limits to publish. The Bruno desktop
  client and the @usebruno/cli runner make outbound requests to whatever APIs
  you target; any throttling comes from those third-party APIs, not from Bruno.
  The only Bruno-imposed quotas are product/plan limits on the paid tiers -
  most notably OpenAPI sync counts and workspace counts - which are seat/plan
  entitlements rather than API rate limits.
notes: >-
  There is no Bruno base URL, no 429 behavior owned by Bruno, and no per-minute
  API quota, because Bruno publishes no API - limit_count is therefore an honest
  0 rather than an omission. api.usebruno.com does not resolve (DNS failure,
  probed 2026-09-18), confirming there is no API host to rate limit. The plan
  entitlements below were re-read from https://www.usebruno.com/pricing on
  2026-09-18: OpenAPI syncs are now unlimited on Pro as well as Ultimate, and
  workspaces are unlimited on both paid tiers.

responseCodes:
  throttled: none (Bruno operates no hosted API)
limits:
- name: Hosted API Requests

- name: Outbound Request Throttling

  limit: set by the target API
  notes: Any throttling of requests Bruno sends is enforced by the third-party API being called, not by Bruno.
policies:
- name: Client-Side Tool
  description: Bruno runs locally (desktop app or CLI); it does not sit between you and an API as a hosted service and therefore imposes no network rate limits.
- name: Respect Target Limits
  description: When running collections (especially via @usebruno/cli in CI/CD), honor the rate limits, Retry-After headers, and 429 responses of the APIs you are testing.
- name: Plan Entitlements
  description: Paid-tier caps (workspaces, OpenAPI syncs, license admins) are subscription entitlements, not API throttles.
