description: FOCUS-aligned FinOps profile for OpenUV. OpenUV billing combines a fixed monthly subscription per plan tier (Free / Hobbyist / Personal / Pro / Enterprise) with a hard daily request quota — there is no per-request overage; calls beyond the quota are rejected with HTTP 429 until the next UTC day or until billing details are added to upgrade to 15,000 req/day.

    description: Use the /stat endpoint to observe per-key request counts and accrued costs daily; export to your FinOps dashboard.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Issue one API key per application or environment so cost and quota can be allocated to the consuming service.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Cache UV index and forecast responses for the polling interval appropriate to your tier (e.g. once per hour on Free), and prefer the forecast endpoint over repeated /uv polling.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Set a budget owner per API key, alert on requests_today approaching the tier quota, and pre-empt 429s by upgrading or throttling client calls.
  - name: Sustainable Usage
    description: The Free tier (50 req/day) is intended for hobby and integration use; production traffic should be on Pro or Unlimited to avoid 429-induced data gaps.
