description: >-
  The Edgegap Arbitrium API enforces per-account request rate limits and
  concurrency quotas on management operations (creating deployments, sessions,
  matchmaking tickets, and relay sessions). Concurrent deployment counts are
  also bounded by the account tier. Specific per-endpoint values are not
  reconciled in this artifact; excess requests return HTTP 429.
notes: >-
  Verify per-endpoint rate limits and concurrency quotas in the Edgegap
  dashboard and documentation on reconciliation; limits vary by account tier.
