Security/Rate limits and usage controls

Usage controls

SIRJ throttles repeated actions before they damage reporting trust.

Review SIRJ usage controls for sign-in, dashboards, Ask Data, integrations, billing, report exports, weekly delivery, data export, deletion, and retention jobs.

Buyer answers

Explain the guardrail without publishing a throttle table.

Buyers need to understand which actions are protected, what happens when repeated requests are blocked, and where plan limits should be reviewed separately.

Public answer

What does SIRJ rate-limit?

SIRJ applies usage controls to repeated access, dashboard, Ask Data, client management, integration management, sync, webhook, billing, weekly delivery, report export, tenant data export, deletion, and retention actions. These controls protect the shared reporting workspace before repeated requests create duplicate work or noisy side effects.

A buyer can evaluate SIRJ as an operational system, not only a dashboard. The product has guardrails around the actions that touch access, data movement, billing, exports, and client communication.

Review related control

Public answer

What does a user see when a request is blocked?

Blocked runtime requests return a too-many-requests state instead of continuing into dashboard reads, sync execution, billing work, export rendering, weekly email delivery, or compliance jobs. Account forms use friendly copy so users know to wait before trying again.

The product should stop safely and explain the retry moment rather than half-completing an action that later has to be reconciled.

Review related control

Public answer

Are plan limits the same thing as usage controls?

No. Plan limits decide whether an account can create more workspaces or use gated features. Usage controls slow repeated actions inside an allowed workspace, such as repeated syncs, exports, sends, or data jobs. Buyers should review both before rollout.

Commercial limits and operational throttles work together: one defines the plan boundary, the other protects the live workspace from repeated actions.

Review related control

Public answer

Can SIRJ prevent duplicate sends or unsafe exports?

Usage controls run before report export rendering, weekly delivery, and tenant data export jobs. When the control denies the request, the runtime does not continue into renderer, email, notification, table export, deletion, or retention work for that blocked attempt.

This matters operationally: blocked requests should not create duplicate client emails, duplicate exports, or partial compliance jobs that have to be cleaned up later.

Protected actions

Usage controls sit beside the actions that create side effects.

The page names the control category and the user-visible result, while exact private thresholds stay out of public copy.

Control	User sees	Protected action
Account access	Repeated signup, login, invite, or recovery attempts can be slowed with a plain wait-and-try-again message.	The runtime checks access attempts before creating sessions, updating credentials, or accepting invitation flows.
Dashboard and Ask Data	Dashboard reads and plain-English questions remain scoped to the active account, client, and user instead of becoming unbounded repeated reads.	Dashboard and Ask Data requests are checked before dashboard generation or answer construction reads source-backed reporting rows.
Client and team management	Client workspace, team, invite, revoke, and recipient operations stay protected when repeated setup actions happen during rollout.	Client-management routes apply usage checks before workspace or invitation changes continue.
Integration setup	Setup, selected-resource, resource-list, disconnect, and connector-management actions stay bounded during source troubleshooting.	Integration-management checks run before resource selection, setup saves, disconnects, and provider-resource requests continue.
Syncs and webhooks	Manual syncs, due-sync runs, and webhook intake are guarded so repeated source activity does not create uncontrolled processing.	Sync and webhook checks run before source orchestration or provider-event handling continues.
Billing actions	Repeated checkout or portal attempts are bounded while account billing remains owner-permissioned.	Billing checks run before hosted checkout or billing portal sessions are created, so repeated account billing attempts do not create unnecessary hosted-session churn.
Report exports	PDF export requests can be slowed before a renderer turns the current dashboard snapshot into a client-facing artifact.	Report export checks run before snapshot rendering, PDF generation, storage metadata, and export status writing continue for the requested artifact.
Weekly delivery	Manual weekly-send requests can be stopped before client recipients receive repeated emails.	Weekly delivery checks run before dashboard data, email delivery, notification saving, and active alert creation continue for the send attempt.
Compliance jobs	Tenant data export, deletion, and retention jobs are slowed before table reads, package writes, or deletion work begins.	Compliance checks run before export package generation, table reads, scoped deletion, saved job creation, and retention processing continue.

Usage boundaries

Plan capacity and repeated-request controls answer different questions.

Use plan-limit pages for commercial capacity, and use this page for the operational controls that keep allowed work from being repeated unsafely.

Boundary	Public explanation
Workspace volume	Plan limits define how many client workspaces an account can manage before an upgrade conversation is needed.
Source sync cadence	Sync controls and observability explain why a source run happened, skipped, failed, retried, or became stale before reports rely on it.
Webhook intake	Webhook and API ingestion controls keep provider events scoped to the expected account, client, connection, and verification path.
Export frequency	Report and data export requests should stay deliberate because outputs can become client-facing artifacts or governance packages.
Weekly recipient delivery	Delivery controls help prevent repeated manual sends while notification history still shows sent, failed, active, already-sent, and not-due states.
Account access attempts	Access controls keep repeated signup, login, invite, and recovery attempts from becoming a noisy or unsafe account state.

Workflow

The control runs before the sensitive work.

A denied request should stop cleanly before rendering, syncing, emailing, billing, exporting, deleting, or changing workspace data.

Step	What happens	User-visible proof
Identify the action scope	Before a protected action continues, SIRJ determines whether the request belongs to account access, dashboard reading, Ask Data, client management, integrations, billing, exports, weekly delivery, or compliance work.	The public page groups controls by the product job the buyer understands instead of exposing private policy names.
Tie the check to tenant context	Usage checks are keyed around the relevant account, client, user, connection, or request context so the active workspace boundary stays part of the control.	Roles, client workspace, invitation, security, and data-lineage pages explain why tenant and client scope matter before data is read or changed.
Stop before sensitive work	When a request is over the safe boundary, the runtime returns a blocked state before dashboard generation, sync orchestration, rendering, emailing, billing, or compliance work continues.	Tests cover blocked runtime paths where follow-on rendering, delivery, notification, table export, or source work does not proceed.
Show the adjacent limit	If the issue is commercial capacity instead of repeated requests, SIRJ routes buyers to billing and plan-limit guidance rather than treating every blocked state as a technical throttle.	Billing, pricing, Enterprise, client workspace, and feature-gate pages explain plan boundaries separately from usage controls.
Preserve reviewable history	Allowed export, weekly delivery, notification, audit, and compliance actions record enough state to distinguish completed work, skipped work, failed attempts, and blocked retries.	Exports, notification delivery, audit, data retention, and sync pages show where reviewable history belongs after an action is allowed.

Proof standards

Usage controls need proof without operational exposure.

Buyers can see the guardrail exists without receiving private operating details, threshold tables, or bypass instructions.

Usage standardNo exact public threshold table

Publishing exact throttle counts and private policy names can make abuse easier and turn a trust page into an operational blueprint.

The public page names action categories, outcomes, and review paths while keeping threshold configuration and key material out of public copy.

Usage standardNo side effects after denial

A blocked request is still risky if export rendering, weekly email delivery, notification saving, or compliance table reads continue after denial.

Runtime and request-scoped tests verify denied attempts return a blocked state before sensitive follow-on work executes.

Usage standardTenant scope before shared actions

Rate limiting loses value if repeated work is scoped too broadly or too narrowly and allows one client, user, or connection to affect another by accident.

Protected runtime paths build checks from relevant account, client, user, connection, or request context before work proceeds.

Usage standardCommercial limits stay separate

Buyers lose trust when workspace volume, feature gates, billing state, and repeated-request throttles are collapsed into one vague denied message.

Plan-limit pages explain commercial capacity while this page explains repeated-action controls and links back to pricing, billing, and Enterprise when capacity is the real issue.

FAQ

Rate limit and usage-control questions buyers ask before rollout.

Does SIRJ publish every rate limit threshold?

No. SIRJ explains the protected action categories and user-visible outcomes publicly, while exact thresholds and private operating details stay behind the product.

Will a blocked report export still render a PDF?

No. The report export path checks usage before rendering. A blocked export does not continue into the PDF renderer for that attempt.

Can weekly emails be sent twice because someone clicks repeatedly?

Usage controls and delivery guardrails work together. Manual send requests are checked before delivery, and scheduled sends also check due, already-sent, and not-due states.

Where should I review plan limits instead?

Use billing and plan limits for workspace volume, feature gates, trial state, checkout, billing portal, expired trials, and canceled subscription behavior.

Ready when the numbers need to hold up

Separate plan capacity from repeated-action controls.

Use billing limits for commercial capacity, then use this page to understand the operational guardrails around syncs, exports, delivery, access, and compliance work.
