description: >-
  Cohesity publishes essentially no API rate limits. This file replaces a
  2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that invented free/professional/enterprise
  tiers at 10/100/1000 requests per minute plus monthly quotas and a full
  X-RateLimit-* header set; none of that is published by Cohesity and it has all
  been removed. The four published specifications were searched for rate-limit
  response headers, 429 responses and throttling parameters: there are none. The
  only quantitative limit Cohesity publishes anywhere applies to the Microsoft
  Power Platform connector, not to the REST API itself.
headers: {}
headers_note: >-
  No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After header is declared in any
  published Cohesity specification or documented on any Cohesity docs page. An
  agent gets no runtime budget signal from this API.
responseCodes:
  throttled: null
  note: >-
    No operation in any of the four published specs declares a 429 response. All
    687 operations declare only a `default` error response.
limits:
  - name: Cohesity Gaia MCP / Gaia connector - Power Platform connection limit
    scope: per-connection
    limit: 100
    window: 60s
    metric: calls
    applies: [Cohesity Gaia MCP, Cohesity Gaia]
    source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/cohesitygaiamcp/
    note: >-
      This is the Microsoft Power Platform connector throttle, published by
      Microsoft for the connector wrapper. It is the only numeric API rate limit
      associated with Cohesity anywhere in public. It does NOT describe the
      Cohesity REST API or the raw MCP server.
platform_throttling:
  note: >-
    Cohesity does publish resource throttling that is often mistaken for API rate
    limiting but is not: `rateLimitBytesPerSec` on replication/archival transfers
    and the MapReduce background-activity throttling schedule
    (/public/cluster/backgroundActivitySchedule). These govern data movement
    bandwidth, not request rates, and are recorded here only so they are not
    miscounted as API limits.
