Policies

OAuth2 Client-Scoped
Limits are tracked per OAuth2 client registered through develop.battle.net; multiple tokens issued to the same client share the allowance.
Backoff
On 429 responses, back off and retry; respect any Retry-After header returned.
Limit Increase
Higher limits can be requested through the developer portal forums; commercial usage typically requires a direct agreement with Blizzard.
Region Endpoints
Use the regional API host that matches your client (us, eu, kr, tw); cross-region calls do not pool quota.
