description: >-
  Opkit did not publish specific public rate-limit values for its REST API.
  As a Bearer-key authenticated JSON API, per-account throttling and usage
  quotas (tied to the subscription tier, scaled by patients and eligibility
  checks) would have applied, but exact RPM/RPD/quota numbers were not
  documented and are not reconciled here. The platform appears decommissioned
  following the late-2024 acqui-hire by 11x.
notes: >-
  No published rate-limit figures are available; the live documentation at
  docs.opkit.co is no longer reachable. Values below are placeholders to be
  reconciled against authoritative documentation if it becomes available.
