  - name: GraphQL Query Budget
    description: >
      Meetup enforces a point-based rate limiting system on its GraphQL API.
      Each query consumes points based on complexity, and clients are allowed
      500 points per 60-second rolling window. Clients that exceed this budget
      receive an error response identifying the rate-limited query and the
      timestamp when the limit resets.
    type: points
    limit: 500
    window: 60
    windowUnit: seconds
    scope: per-client
    enforcement: hard
    errorBehavior: >
      Returns an error message in the GraphQL response indicating which query
      triggered the rate limit and the time when the budget resets.

        description: Bearer token required for all authenticated requests
    notes:
      - Rate limits apply to the Pro tier API access only
      - Point cost per query varies by complexity and fields requested
      - Multiple queries can be combined in a single GraphQL request to optimize point usage
