name: Nasuni published rate limits
note: >-
  Both of Nasuni's primary REST APIs publish concrete numeric limits in their own reference
  introductions — unusual for enterprise infrastructure vendors. The NMC limits are enforced
  from Nasuni 8.5 onward. Response-header signalling differs sharply between the two APIs: the
  Portal API returns Retry-After on burst exhaustion, the NMC API documents only the 429 status
  and an error body, with no RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers described.

  note: >-
    Telemetry endpoints share the default limits but Nasuni states they may carry separate
    thresholds; no numbers are published.

client_side_guidance:
- source: https://github.com/nasuni-labs/nasuni-api-utilities
  guidance: >-
    Nasuni recommends inserting sleep/wait steps in NMC API integrations (e.g. Start-Sleep -s 1.1
    in PowerShell) to stay under the 5 GET/sec and 1 write/sec ceilings.
- source: https://github.com/nasuni-labs/NasuniPoshApi
  guidance: >-
    The first-party PowerShell module implements the 5 GET/sec and 1 write/sec ceilings internally
    and retries automatically on 429.
