Previous documentation listed "up to 50 pulls a month". That is not the case. According to https://gocardless.com/bank-account-data/ and https://bankaccountdata.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/11528933493916-Bank-Account-Data-API-Usage-how-is-your-usage-number-calculated the limit is on connections, but the number of pulls is unlimited within those connections (nevermind that fact that the banks may rate limit the number of pulls, which they seem to do).

@matt-fidd does this all seem accurate? I don't know about the gocardless limits.

The change with regard to 50 connections is correct.

The rate limit part is not strictly true any more, GoCardless recently introduced strict rate limits on their side in front of the bank imposed ones.

There's a bit more info in actualbudget/actual-server#431
