varies
see Spot API spec at spec.dev.spot.io
Per-endpoint behavior is documented in the OpenAPI spec; consolidated throttle thresholds are not published publicly.
Underlying Cloud Provider Limits cloud-account
varies
governed by AWS / Azure / GCP quotas
For provisioning operations that proxy the cloud provider's APIs, effective limits are bounded by the underlying cloud account's service quotas.

Policies

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.
