summary: >-
  The Juniper Mist Cloud API applies a global per-account request quota that
  resets on the hourly boundary. Authentication endpoints are throttled more
  aggressively to defend against brute-force attempts. Exceeding a limit returns
  HTTP 429.
limits:
  - scope: account
    limit_count: 5000
    window: hour
    reset: hourly-boundary
    note: >-
      Default ceiling of 5000 API calls per hour per account. Higher limits are
      available on request to Mist support.
  - scope: login
    endpoint: POST /api/v1/login
    limit_count: 3
    window: failures
    note: >-
      The login endpoint is rate-limited far sooner than the account quota —
      after 3 consecutive login failures — to mitigate credential brute-forcing.
exceeded:
  status: 429
  meaning: Too Many Requests — the account has exceeded its hourly API quota.
