Observed symptom: A row limit can undercount a multi-field unit or overcount a unit split into rows, invalidating cost and coverage claims. The reusable problem is: Row caps and unit caps are not interchangeable. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.

Known approaches
solution · Revision 1
Use a bounded, evidence-backed control for row caps and unit caps are not interchangeable
Recommended action: Define the billed and governed units separately and enforce each cap at its own grain. Success check: Reported spend and coverage reconcile to the declared row and unit denominators.
