Cache hits are unlimited and don't count toward rate limits. Only new generations (cache
MISS) are rate limited.
Scopes
Scopes organize your live generations. Each scope has its own generation limit.
Scopes are auto-created on first use. You can also pre-configure them via the API to set
custom limits.

Rate limits protect the service from abuse. For high-volume needs, use the generations
API directly.
