How these docs are written

Anything we don't offer yet is marked as such. Pages for features still in progress carry a Coming soon badge at the top, and pages that run against a test environment carry Test mode.
The CLI and API references are generated from code. The CLI and API references are generated to reflect changes to commands and APIs.
Only limits we actually enforce are documented. The limits table lists the limits the service enforces today.
