Description

A user asked:

Where can I find information about API limits? How many requests can I make? Should i refer for AWS limits?
The way I intend to use Source involves a large number of callbacks, even though the data volume isn't large, it will be accessed very frequently.
It would be very useful to add this information to the documentation.

The answer right now is: We don't currently impose any limits. That may change in the near future and would likely be able to be mitigated by a user by authenticating. The exact strategy of how we impose limits is a business decision that we would need to make.

To the topic of documentation, a simple summary of ☝️ could be shared somewhere with a strong emphasis on the fact that this may change in the future
