description: >-
  Docsumo enforces per-account limits on API upload throughput and on the
  number of documents/pages that can be processed, scoped by plan. Documented
  limits include web, API, and email upload caps per document type and overall
  monthly document/page volume tied to the subscription. Specific numeric
  request-per-minute and per-document-type values are not reconciled in this
  artifact and should be confirmed in the account dashboard.
notes: >-
  Verify per-document-type API/web/email upload limits and monthly volume caps
  on reconciliation; values vary by plan tier and contract.
