description: >-
  The TRONITY Platform API is OAuth2-secured and access is constrained both by
  the scopes a vehicle owner grants and by the subscription tier (per vehicle,
  per administrator). TRONITY does not publish specific numeric request-per-
  minute or per-day limits in its public help center, and live vehicle reads are
  also bounded by how frequently the underlying OEM telematics can be polled.
  Specific per-endpoint and per-account limits are not reconciled in this
  artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify any enforced request quotas, polling intervals and concurrency limits
  with TRONITY during reconciliation; effective read frequency is also gated by
  OEM-side telematics availability and the granted scopes per vehicle.

  throttled: 429
limits:
- name: Requests Per Account
  scope: account

  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Public help center does not publish a numeric RPM/RPD; verify in the platform docs.
- name: Per-Vehicle Polling
  scope: vehicle
  metric: requests
  limit: see provider documentation
  notes: Read frequency for live data is bounded by OEM telematics polling cadence.
- name: Scope-Constrained Access
  scope: vehicle
  metric: scopes
  limit: granted scopes only
  notes: Each request is limited to the read/write scopes the vehicle owner granted (e.g. read_battery, write_charge_start_stop).
- name: Subscription Tier
  scope: account
  metric: vehicles
  limit: by plan
  notes: Number of vehicles and administrator seats available is set by the subscription tier.
