description: >-
  The Fingerprint Server API enforces per-workspace rate limits expressed as
  requests per second (RPS). Exceeding the limit returns HTTP 429 with a
  Retry-After header. Limits vary by plan, and the client-side identification
  agent has separate throttling. Specific per-plan RPS values are not reconciled
  in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify the current Server API requests-per-second limits and any per-endpoint
  quotas in the Fingerprint documentation during reconciliation; values vary by
  plan and may change.
