name: Evidently AI Rate Limits
description: >
  Evidently AI's core library is open-source and self-hosted, so there are no externally
  enforced API rate limits from Evidently for the OSS deployment — limits are governed by
  the operator's own infrastructure. The commercial platform (Expert/Enterprise) is
  self-hosted and rate limits are similarly infrastructure-dependent. Evidently has not
  published specific HTTP rate-limit headers or per-minute/per-day call caps for its
  Platform REST API. The following reflects known constraints and guidance from
  documentation; operators should size their deployments accordingly.

rateLimits:
  - scope: OSS Self-Hosted REST API
    description: >
      No rate limits are enforced by Evidently for the self-hosted platform. Throughput is
      bounded by the operator's compute and storage resources. There are no API call quotas,
      daily request limits, or throttling policies applied by the Evidently software itself.
    limit: unlimited
    limitNote: Governed entirely by operator infrastructure

  - scope: Evidently Cloud (Deprecated SaaS)
    description: >
      Evidently Cloud is no longer available as a SaaS product. When it was available,
      no publicly documented rate limits (requests per minute, daily caps, or burst limits)
      were disclosed. Authentication used bearer API tokens (EVIDENTLY_API_KEY). The base
      URL was https://app.evidently.cloud.
    status: deprecated
    authenticationMethod: Bearer Token (API Key)
    baseURL: https://app.evidently.cloud
    limitNote: SaaS product discontinued; no published rate limits existed

  - scope: Python SDK (pip install evidently)
    description: >
      The Python SDK runs evaluations locally or pushes results to a platform endpoint.
      Local evaluations have no rate limits. When uploading to a platform, network and
      infrastructure constraints apply. Batch evaluation jobs are the expected usage pattern
      rather than high-frequency real-time calls.
    limit: unlimited
    limitNote: Local compute-bound; no SDK-enforced rate limits
