description: >-
  Pangea enforces per-project, per-service request limits across its security
  service APIs. Limits are applied per service token and per service host
  (for example audit.aws.us.pangea.cloud), and are governed by the project's
  billing tier and configured providers. Bulk endpoints (Secure Audit Log
  /v2/log, IP Intel /v2/reputation) cap items per request - up to 1000 audit
  events and up to 100 IPs per call. Specific per-service request-per-second
  values are not published and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify per-service rate limits and per-request item caps in the Pangea
  documentation and project console during reconciliation; limits vary by
  service, plan, and configured intelligence provider.
