description: >-
  Decodable does not publish explicit numeric rate limits for the control-plane
  REST API. Practical capacity is governed by plan-level resource quotas rather
  than per-second request limits: the Free plan caps concurrent tasks (4) and
  streams (20); the On Demand plan caps streams (50) with unlimited concurrent
  tasks; Enterprise removes task and stream caps. Stream throughput and
  retention are bounded by plan (e.g. 10GB/24h on Free, 100GB/7-day on On
  Demand). Specific per-endpoint request limits are not documented and are not
  reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No documented numeric per-second/per-minute API request limits were found.
  Verify quota and throttling behavior against Decodable documentation and the
  account console during reconciliation.

responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: Concurrent Tasks
  scope: account
  metric: tasks
  limit: see plan (Free 4; On Demand unlimited; Enterprise unlimited)
  notes: Task concurrency is a plan-level quota, not a request rate limit.
- name: Streams
  scope: account
  metric: streams
  limit: see plan (Free 20; On Demand 50; Enterprise unlimited)
  notes: Maximum number of streams allowed per account by plan.
- name: Stream Retention / Size
  scope: account
  metric: bytes
  limit: see plan (Free 10GB/24h; On Demand 100GB/7-day)
  notes: Retention window and per-stream size bounded by plan.
- name: Control-Plane API Requests
  scope: account
  metric: requests
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: No explicit numeric per-second/per-minute API request limit is documented.
