description: >-
  The Localazy public API enforces a general throughput limit of 100 requests
  per minute and 10 requests per second across all endpoints. In addition,
  per-project daily ceilings apply separately to import requests and fetch
  requests, and these daily ceilings scale with the subscription plan. For
  fetching translations in production, Localazy recommends the Localazy CDN,
  which has no request ceiling. Localazy AI translation operations are not
  subject to these rate limits.
notes: >-
  Daily import/fetch ceilings vary by plan (Free, Professional/Autopilot,
  Business, Enterprise). The HTTP status code returned on throttling is not
  explicitly documented; verify on reconciliation. Higher limits are available
  by contacting Localazy support.
