notes: |
  Encore does not publish a public REST API with per-key rate limiting. The numeric usage caps on
  Encore Cloud are tied to plan tier and apply to platform-side resources (build concurrency,
  ingested trace events, environment count) rather than per-second request quotas on a hosted API.
