01

Operator ships a SPA that calls /query directly with PINECONE_API_KEY in browser JavaScript.

Project-scoped API keys must never reach the browser — they grant full read/write across all namespaces in the project. Proxy through an operator-owned backend that scopes namespace by authenticated user. Rotate any key that touched a client bundle.

02

Sustained traffic hits per-project QPS cap; queries start returning 429.

Honor retry-after header; apply exponential backoff with jitter; cap retry count. Treat 429 as backpressure — shed load upstream rather than burst-retry. Verify per-tier numerics against database-limits docs [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION].

Pass / FailAi Platformhigh
03

Operator wants real-time visibility into project-level read/write/storage unit consumption.

Pinecone Console exposes usage dashboards; describe_index_stats gives per-namespace vector_count for storage estimation. Export to operator observability for alerting on approaching tier caps. Do not wait for 429 to discover quota pressure.
