description: >-
  ScyllaDB Cloud does not publish explicit API rate limits for its Cloud
  Management REST API in public documentation. The Admin REST API (node-level,
  port 10000) is intended for internal/administrative use and is not
  rate-limit-documented publicly. Database-level throughput is bounded by
  provisioned cluster resources (vCPU, RAM, NVMe storage) rather than
  per-request quotas — consistent with ScyllaDB's resource-based billing model
  that contrasts with per-request DynamoDB pricing.
