description: 'Reconciled rate-limit and concurrency policy for the Logz.io public API. The control plane caps
  concurrent API requests per account; ingest plane is governed by daily ingest commitments rather than per-request
  rate limits.'

    description: Hard cap of 100 concurrent in-flight API requests per Logz.io account against `api.logz.io` (and
      its regional siblings). To raise the cap contact Logz.io Customer Success or the account manager. Burst
      requests beyond the cap return HTTP 429.
notes:
  - 'API access is available to Pro and Enterprise plan subscribers only. Free / community-tier accounts cannot
    issue API tokens.'
  - 'There is no documented per-second or per-minute request limit beyond the 100-concurrent cap; in practice
    Logz.io recommends compressing large search and scroll responses with `Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate`.'
  - 'Ingest is governed by daily GB / time-series / span commitments (see plans/logz-io-plans-pricing.yml), not
    by per-request rate limits. Overage above the daily commit is billed at 1.4x the subscription unit rate rather
    than refused.'
  - 'Region-specific URLs (`api-au`, `api-ca`, `api-eu`, `api-nl`, `api-uk`, `api-wa`) all apply the same limit
    independently per region account.'
