# Usage Limits

Virusis may apply usage controls to keep the product stable, fair, and predictable across different input types and customer environments.

## What public documentation should communicate

* exact thresholds can vary by environment, plan, or deployment
* processing time may vary with input size, complexity, and analysis depth
* not every result appears instantly, especially during heavier analysis flows
* public docs should explain expectations without disclosing internal operational controls

## Best practice for external wording

Instead of publishing hidden implementation details, public help pages should say things like:

* "processing speed may vary by submission type"
* "availability and throughput can differ by workspace or package"
* "contact your Virusis point of contact for enabled integration capabilities"
