varies
see Spot API spec at spec.dev.spot.io

varies
governed by AWS / Azure / GCP quotas

Token-Based Authentication
API access is via Personal Access Token / OAuth; rate-limit scoping follows the authenticated account.
Cloud Quota Inheritance
Operations that ultimately invoke AWS / Azure / GCP APIs inherit the cloud provider's throttling characteristics.
