description: >-
  The Plane Cloud REST API enforces a fixed per-client rate limit of 60
  requests per minute per API key. Requests beyond the limit receive an HTTP 429
  response. Self-hosted Community Edition instances are not subject to Plane
  Cloud's limit and can be tuned by the operator. List endpoints use cursor-based
  pagination (cursor and per_page parameters) which keeps individual responses
  bounded and reduces request volume.
notes: >-
  The 60 requests-per-minute limit is documented for Plane Cloud; verify against
  the developer documentation during reconciliation as limits may change by plan.
