Are there (hidden) mapbox API limits to hitting Choroplethmapbox fig?

Dear all

I’m seeking guidance on how to responsibly use the go.Choroplethmapbox figure. Can we hit it like crazy on a public dash website or is that abusing the free API? Please advise on whether this is open season or if there is an appropriate approach.

Background
I’ve been playing around with a dash webapp using the plotly.graph_objects.Choroplethmapbox figure which DOES NOT need an API token. I really only need simple tile based maps that come available without an API token requirement in the go.Choroplethmapbox figure (lovely). Presumably there are still mapbox API keys and they are managed behind the scenes by plotly in providing this service?

I don’t really understand how it all works and I don’t want to abuse this free service, so can you please advise:

  1. Are there limits on using the Mapbox token-free-API go.Choroplethmapbox fig?? (i.e. for a public/enterprise website)

  2. If so, please advise how best to manage this.

  3. If not, assume I can hit go.Choroplethmapbox as hard as I want without any guilt!

Cheers all
Dan
