description: >-
  Revert brokers calls to many downstream third-party providers, so effective
  throughput is bounded by two layers: Revert's own hosted API limits and the
  rate limits of each connected provider (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive,
  Close, etc.). Revert normalizes provider throttling responses. When self-hosting
  (AGPL-3.0), Revert-side limits are whatever you configure on your own
  deployment; only the downstream provider limits apply. Specific hosted numeric
  limits are not published and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  On reconciliation, confirm any hosted plan RPM/quota values with Revert and
  document per-provider passthrough limits. Downstream provider limits change
  independently of Revert.

responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: Revert Hosted API Requests
  scope: account
  metric: requests
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Hosted-plan request limits; not published, tier-dependent. Not applicable to self-hosted deployments.
- name: Downstream Provider Limits
  scope: connection
  metric: requests
  limit: varies by connected provider
  notes: Each connected CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Close, etc.) enforces its own rate limits, which pass through Revert.
- name: Proxy Passthrough
  scope: connection
  metric: requests
  limit: bounded by downstream provider
  notes: Proxy calls are subject to the underlying provider's native rate limits.
policies:
- name: Provider Throttling Passthrough
  description: When a downstream provider returns 429, Revert surfaces the throttle to the caller.
- name: Automatic Retry
  description: Revert includes an API retry mechanism that automatically retries certain failed downstream calls.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After on 429 responses.
