  • per-object-cap per-file ceiling is 100 MB source
per-object-cap: 100 MB (104,857,600 B, from siteinfo). request-rate: the wiki HTML and the Action API are behind an Anubis proof-of-work challenge — a POST to /w/api.php returned the 'Making sure you're not a bot!' page instead of JSON, so programmatic access needs a PoW-capable client. Retention: no expiry published.
Bindingper-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interfacerest, rclone rest
ToolingStandard MediaWiki Action API (1.43.6) + Pywikibot. No rclone backend.
