description: >-
  Qlty does not publish a documented public REST API, so there are no
  documented per-endpoint HTTP rate limits. Usage on Qlty Cloud is instead
  governed by plan-based quotas - monthly analysis minutes and AI autofixes -
  rather than request-per-minute throttling. The Qlty CLI (including
  qlty coverage publish) runs locally and is not subject to API rate limits,
  though coverage ingestion is bounded by the project's Qlty Cloud plan quotas.
notes: >-
  Quota values track the Qlty pricing plans (see plans/qlty-plans-pricing.yml).
  Verify current allotments and any service throttling on the Qlty pricing and
  docs pages during reconciliation.
