description: >-
  Lasso Security does not publish specific public rate limits for the Classify /
  Threat Detection API or the Deputy gateway. Limits are governed by the
  subscribed plan and enterprise agreement. Clients pass a per-request timeout
  (default 5000 ms) on classification calls. Standard HTTP throttling (429) is
  expected on overuse. Specific per-account values are not reconciled in this
  artifact.
notes: >-
  Confirm concurrency, per-minute, and per-account limits with Lasso on
  reconciliation; values depend on the plan and contract.
