KAEL applies daily request limits based on server-calculated clearance. Tenant integrations can have a separate configured daily limit.

These are runtime defaults and can change. Tenant configuration can override the per-tenant daily limit.
22
23
## Limit key
24
25
KAEL derives the limit key from the strongest available identity context, such as:
26
27
- Signed-in subject.
28
- ARM or invite state.
29
- Client network identity.
30
- Tenant and caller scope.
31
32
Clients must not assume that changing a session ID resets a server-side limit.
33
34
## Streaming behavior
35
36
`POST /kael/stream` starts an SSE response before all checks finish. A limit failure can therefore arrive as an event:
37
38
```json
39
{
40
"error": "rate_limit",
41
"clearance": 1,
42
"limit": 20,
43
"message": "L1 daily limit reached."
44
}
45
```
46
47
The stream then emits `[DONE]`.

51
- Display the server’s message.
52
- Do not immediately retry the same request.
53
- Preserve unfinished user input.
54
- Avoid parallel duplicate submissions.
55
- Do not fabricate a remaining count when the server did not provide one.
56
- Use exponential backoff for transient `5xx` failures, not daily limits.
57
58
## Infrastructure limits
59
60
The documentation site separately limits mutation requests at nginx to reduce automated abuse. Those controls do not change KAEL’s application-level daily limits.
