description: >-
  The CUDO Compute REST API is a control-plane API for provisioning and managing
  compute, storage, and networking resources. CUDO Compute does not publish
  numeric per-endpoint request-rate limits; practical constraints are governed
  by per-account and per-project resource quotas (number and size of virtual
  machines, GPUs, disks, networks, and public IPs), data-center capacity, and
  billing-account spend limits. Excessive control-plane request rates may be
  throttled by the platform. Specific numeric values are not reconciled in this
  artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify any per-endpoint request-rate throttling, per-project resource quotas,
  and account spend limits (monthlySpendLimit / hourlySpendLimit on the billing
  account) in the CUDO Compute console and support channels on reconciliation.

- name: Resource Quotas
  description: Provisioning is gated by per-account/per-project resource quotas and live data-center capacity rather than fixed request-rate limits.
- name: Spend Limits
  description: Hourly and monthly spend limits on the billing account cap resource consumption.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
