limit_count: 0
note: >-
  Foxglove states that the API is rate-limited but publishes NO numbers — no requests
  per window, no burst, no per-key or per-account scope. The documented contract is
  entirely runtime: a 429 status and a Retry-After header. Quoted verbatim from the
  API reference: "To help ensure responsiveness for all clients, requests to the API
  may be rate-limited. In this case, a request will receive a status code of 429.
  Your client may refer to headers, such as 'Retry-After', to determine when a
  request should be retried." No 429 response is declared on any operation in the
  OpenAPI, so a generated client will not model it.

    "In general, if your client experiences an error, you should adjust the rate at
    which your client makes requests, and you may issue retries with a strategy such
    as exponential backoff."
adjacent_quota_limits:
  note: >-
    Foxglove's published quantitative limits are commercial quotas on the pricing
    page rather than API request-rate limits; they are captured in
    plans/foxglove-technologies-plans-pricing.yml (storage, seats, devices,
    projects, query time, indexing, bandwidth).

    source: https://docs.foxglove.dev/api/llms.txt
gaps:
- No numeric rate limit is published, so a client cannot plan concurrency ahead of
  the first 429.
- No RateLimit-* / X-RateLimit-* headers are documented, so a client cannot see how
  close it is to the ceiling before being cut off.
- 429 is absent from every operation's responses block in the OpenAPI.
