description: >-
  Qualia states that its API includes rate limiting policies "to maintain system
  stability," but it does not publish specific numeric per-account or
  per-endpoint limits in its public material. Concrete limits, if any, are
  disclosed inside Qualia's gated developer hub and governed per organization
  through Qualia's authorization framework. No public figures are available to
  reconcile.
notes: >-
  Numeric request-rate limits are not documented publicly as of the review date.
  Access and throughput are provisioned per organization via capability gates
  and Authorized Organizations. Verify limits in Qualia's developer hub during
  reconciliation.
