      Rate limits applied to all InVision platform API calls including
      prototypes, boards, comments, and user management endpoints. Specific
      per-minute or per-hour limits were enforced server-side without public
      documentation.

        notes: >-
          InVision enforced rate limits at the application level for all REST
          API calls. Pro and Enterprise plans had higher thresholds than Free
          plan accounts. Exact limits were not published in the developer
          documentation.

notes: >-
  InVision permanently ceased operations on January 1, 2025. Rate limit
  information is provided for historical reference only. The platform no longer
  accepts API requests. Developers should migrate to alternative platforms
  such as Figma, which provides publicly documented API rate limits.
