Know the limits

  • Example: recipients per request — each recipient is one quota unit on Oveyon’s /v1/send.
  • Floating-point sums are approximate, as the edge case shows.

The function above is the implementation used by the lab. The lab validates JSON types and caps size before execution; include equivalent validation when accepting untrusted input in your application.
