description: >-
  Rowy does not publish its own API rate limits. Its webhooks and Rowy Run
  services run on Google Cloud Run inside the user's own GCP project, and its
  data lives in the user's Google Cloud Firestore. Any effective rate limits,
  quotas, or throttling therefore come from the underlying Google Cloud
  Platform services (Cloud Run concurrency/instances, Cloud Functions
  invocation limits, Firestore read/write quotas), not from Rowy. Specific
  values are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  On reconciliation, verify limits against Google Cloud Run, Cloud Functions,
  and Firestore quota documentation for the user's project and region, since
  these govern Rowy webhook and Rowy Run throughput. Rowy itself imposes no
  documented per-account API rate limit.

limits:
- name: Webhook Throughput (Cloud Run)
  scope: gcp-project
  metric: requests
  limit: governed by Google Cloud Run
  notes: Webhooks run on the rowy-hooks Cloud Run service in the user's GCP project; throughput follows Cloud Run concurrency and instance limits.
- name: Cloud Function Invocations
  scope: gcp-project
  metric: invocations
  limit: governed by Google Cloud Functions
  notes: Cloud Functions deployed via Rowy follow GCP invocation and build quotas.
- name: Firestore Reads / Writes
  scope: gcp-project
  metric: operations
  limit: governed by Google Cloud Firestore
  notes: Table data operations are bounded by Firestore quotas for the user's project.
policies:
- name: Underlying GCP Limits
  description: All practical rate limits derive from the user's own Google Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Firestore quotas rather than a Rowy-imposed limit.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: Clients integrating via webhooks should implement retries with exponential backoff and honor Cloud Run / Firestore error responses.
