Elk publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.
CORRECTION, 2026-08-27. This file previously carried five fabricated limits — 10 req/min and 1,000 req/month "free", 100 req/min and 100,000 req/month "professional", 1,000 req/min "enterprise", all keyed to an api-key scope Elk does not issue — written by the 2026-05-04 bulk scaffold sweep. None of them exist. They were replaced with this measured zero. Elk publishes no rate limits and returns no rate-limit headers. THIS IS AN HONEST ZERO, NOT AN UNCHECKED ONE: a live 200 was captured and its headers read. The limits that actually govern an Elk session are enforced by the user's own Mastodon instance against their own token, not by Elk.
