Auto Dev Rate Limits

Auto.dev enforces a per-second request rate limit that scales with the account plan: Starter is limited to 5 requests/second, Growth to 10 requests/second, and Scale to 50 requests/second. The Starter tier also caps included usage at 1,000 API calls per month, after which access is limited; Growth and Scale have no cap on call volume. The listings endpoint additionally caps results per page by plan (Starter 20, Growth 100, Scale 500).
