Openuv Rate Limits
Machine-readable rate limit definitions for the OpenUV API. OpenUV enforces a daily request quota per API key. The free tier is 50 requests per day; adding billing details unlocks 15,000 requests per day; the Unlimited Plan is custom.

Policies
Quota Reset
Daily quotas reset at 00:00 UTC. The /stat endpoint exposes requests_today and requests_yesterday counters.
Health Check Recommended
The /status endpoint is unmetered and safe to call before consuming quota on metered endpoints.
Backoff Strategy
On 429 responses clients should stop polling for the remainder of the UTC day and resume the next day, or upgrade billing details.
Fair Use
Even on the Unlimited Plan, sustained usage that materially impacts shared infrastructure may be subject to fair-use throttling.
Integration Guidance
Smart-home integrations (Home Assistant, openHAB, Homey) are advised not to auto-poll the free tier; manual update triggers are the recommended pattern.
