description: >-
  Meshy caps API throughput primarily through plan-tier concurrent task counts (Free 1, Pro
  10, Studio 20, Enterprise 50+) and monthly credit allocations. Queue priority and
  generation speed are also tier-gated. HTTP-level RPS limits are not separately documented.
notes: Concurrent task count and monthly credits are the documented scaling levers.
