Reading these limits
A limit appears on this page only when Runway’s own pricing, help, or documentation page states it. Where the table reads Unknown, no official page read for this record had published that detail — it is not a “no”, and it is not filled in with a guess. A one-time allowance does not refresh; a daily or monthly allowance returns at the stated cadence until the provider changes it.
The change log lists a change only after it is confirmed on the provider’s own pages, and Runway’s observation history keeps every earlier reading appended, never overwritten.
