Limits
Mealie publishes no rate limits that could be read; the profile records that absence rather than inventing a ceiling.
Mealie ships NO rate limiting and returns no rate-limit headers. This is not an undocumented gap — the project states it plainly in its security documentation: "By default, the API is not rate limited. This leaves Mealie open to a potential Denial of Service Attack." Because Mealie is self-hosted, rate limiting is pushed to the operator's reverse proxy (the docs name Traefik, Nginx and Caddy), so any 429 or Retry-After an agent observes comes from that proxy and is instance-specific, not part of Mealie's contract. An honest zero.
