description: >-
  Gumlet's REST API at api.gumlet.com/v1 applies per-account rate limits on
  management calls, authenticated with a bearer API key. Video processing is
  further bounded by concurrent encoding/processing capacity per plan, and
  delivery scales via CDN. Specific per-endpoint request-per-minute values are
  not published in a single reference and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Confirm current management-API rate limits, concurrent processing limits, and
  any per-plan quotas with Gumlet support or documentation during
  reconciliation. Throttled requests are expected to return HTTP 429.
