description: >-
  The Sevalla API (https://api.sevalla.com/v3) authenticates every request with
  a Bearer API token and applies per-token / per-company rate limiting to
  protect the platform. Exact per-endpoint request-per-minute values are not
  published in a single normalized table; throttled requests return HTTP 429.
  Beyond API request limits, the platform enforces resource quotas per plan and
  fair-use policies (for example on free static-site bandwidth and build
  minutes, and on object storage).
notes: >-
  Confirm specific per-endpoint and per-company request-per-minute limits,
  429 response headers, and any Retry-After semantics in the Sevalla API
  reference on reconciliation; values are not fully published as of this
  artifact.
