2026 point-based rate limits

I can imagine the investigating team meticulously tracing the root cause with the logical assumption that all rate limit polices are per-tenant, only to hilariously discover the global pool model.

This is the quality of recent engineering decisions on rate limits:

  • API rate limits: new marketplace-wide DoS attack surface with bureaucratic process to exit global pool default.
  • Invocation rate limits (TBD): initial plan correctly identified a global pool as problematic but then suggested a fixed rate limit regardless of tenant user size.
  • License API rate limits: new minor DoS attack surface with ridiculously tiny 10 RPM rate limit shared across all apps on tenant.

What is going on?
