Evidence Dev Rate Limits

Evidence is a framework/CLI that compiles SQL + Markdown into a static data app and executes queries locally through a DuckDB-WASM (Universal SQL) engine, so the open-source core has no network rate limits - throughput is bound by your machine and by the limits of whatever upstream data warehouses you connect to. Evidence Cloud, as a managed product, governs usage through per-user seats, bundled monthly AI-credit allowances (with metered overage), and operational quotas such as scheduled-sync frequency and query/caching limits rather than published requests-per-minute API rate limits. Specific quota values are not reconciled here.

Evidence Dev Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Evidence on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 4 rate-limit definitions, measuring queries, users, ai_credits, and sync_frequency.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Business Intelligence, BI as Code, SQL, Markdown, and Data Apps.

Policies

Self-Hosted Throughput
Open-source deployments scale with host resources and upstream warehouse limits; honor your data source's own rate limits.
Credit-Based Usage
AI features draw down monthly credit allowances; plan for metered overage above the included pool.
