description: Usercentrics does not publish per-API rate limits. Quotas are enforced as monthly entitlements
  (sessions, daily active users, sGTM requests, Meta Signals events) attached to each plan rather than as
  per-second request limits.
notes: Sessions and DAU are the primary metering units. Server-Side Tagging and Meta Signals Gateway plans
  meter request and event volume respectively. Tenants exceeding plan caps are upgraded or throttled per
  contract.
