  No public developer API rate limits are documented for Matternet, because
  Matternet does not expose a public or self-serve API. Matternet's internal
  Hasura-powered GraphQL layer is described as implementing role-based access
  control and query rate limiting / query-depth restrictions to protect the
  platform, but these are internal operational controls applied to Matternet's
  own client applications, not published quotas for third-party developers.
  Device telemetry (MQTT/protobuf to HiveMQ) is a Matternet-operated transport
  with no published throttling policy for external consumers.
notes: >-
  Values are not reconciled; no public rate-limit documentation exists. The
  entries below describe internal controls referenced in vendor case studies
  rather than published external limits.
