description: >-
  PromptArmor's detection API is marketed as returning verdicts in real time,
  faster than the LLM completion it protects. PromptArmor does not publicly
  document specific rate limits, quotas, or throttling thresholds for its
  Content Check and Analyze endpoints; limits are presumed to be governed by
  per-customer enterprise agreements. Specific values are not reconciled in
  this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public rate-limit documentation is available. Confirm any per-account RPS,
  RPM, or concurrency limits and the throttling response code directly with
  PromptArmor during reconciliation. The 429 status below is the conventional
  throttling code and is assumed, not confirmed in PromptArmor's public docs.
