optimization_strategies:
  - name: Monitor Active Learner Count

    savings_potential: high
  - name: Use Webhooks Instead of Polling
    description: Implement webhooks for real-time event notifications to reduce API call volume and avoid approaching rate limits, which can reduce the need for rate limit increases or custom plans.
    savings_potential: medium
  - name: Optimize API Pagination
    description: Use maximum page size (1000 records per request) when bulk-fetching data to minimize the number of API calls and reduce the risk of hitting rate limits during sync operations.
    savings_potential: low
  - name: Negotiate Annual Contract Volume Discounts
    description: Contact the Litmos sales team for volume pricing and multi-year contract discounts. Larger learner counts typically yield lower per-learner pricing.
