-> Important Note: The Piston API is rate limited to 5 requests per second. If you have a need for more requests than that
-> and it's for a good cause, please reach out to me (EngineerMan#0001) on [Discord](https://discord.gg/engineerman)
-> so we can discuss potentially getting you an unlimited key. What is and isn't a good cause is up to me, but, in general
-> if your project is a) open source, b) helping people at no cost to them, and c) not likely to use tons of resources
-> thereby impairing another's ability to enjoy Piston, you'll likely be granted a key.
+> Important Note: The Piston API is rate limited to 5 requests per second. Effective May 7, 2024, no additional
+> unlimited keys will be granted and existing keys will be revoked on Jan 1, 2025. The public instance is at
+> capacity and the public limit is already very generous. For usage beyond 5 requests/second, you should
