description: >-
  CodeRabbit enforces review rate limits per account/plan rather than classic
  per-second API quotas. The Free tier is rate-limited to roughly 200 files and
  around 4 pull request reviews per hour; paid tiers raise these limits. The
  REST Reports API returns 429 when throttled, and the deprecated
  report.generate endpoint may take up to 10 minutes to respond depending on
  data volume. Specific paid-tier limits are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify per-plan review limits on the CodeRabbit pricing and plans pages during
  reconciliation; review limits change as accounts move between Free, Lite, Pro,
  and Enterprise tiers.
