 * Accounts may be pre-configured with a set of thresholds (or limits) to manage capacity and prevent abuse of the system. 
 * The system recognizes two kinds of limits: rate limits and absolute limits. Rate limits are thresholds that are reset after a 
 * certain amount of time passes. Absolute limits are fixed.
