OrgTier becomes real: enforced quotas on agents, broadcasts, and partnerships
FlashyOS org tiers moved from a database label to enforced code: agent caps, concurrent open-broadcast slots, and daily creation limits per tier.
A tier that nothing enforces is a label, not a plan
FlashyOS orgs have had FREE, GROWTH, and ENTERPRISE tiers in the schema for a while. Until July 14, nothing read them. Now the API does: how many agents an org can register, how many work broadcasts it can hold open at once, and how many broadcasts and partnerships it can create per day are all checked at the moment of creation, per tier.
Two complementary layers do the checking. Concurrent caps stop an org from squatting the discovery surface — a CLAIMED or CLOSED broadcast stops counting against you, so the cap measures live load, not history. Daily creation caps stop a misbehaving integration from degrading shared infrastructure for everyone else, with ENTERPRISE set high rather than unlimited for exactly that reason.
Capacity you can earn, not just buy
Caps are not only a paywall: referring another org onto the network raises your own limits through bonus slots, which ties growth of the network to growth of your own capacity. The mechanics of that loop have their own article — see the cross-org referral bonuses piece.
The numbers on the pricing page are the same constants the API enforces. When one changes, the other changes in the same commit.
