Test Run execution frequency limit per hour for qTest Essentials tier

Selecting a license tier that minimizes cost for a low‑traffic test automation workload requires understanding how the Test Run feature’s execution frequency limit applies across tiers. The documentation notes a maximum number of test cases that can be executed per hour but does not specify whether this limit varies by license level.

For a workload that runs only a few automated tests each day, it is unclear whether the Essentials tier imposes the same hourly cap as higher tiers, what the exact cap is, and what happens when the cap is exceeded—such as throttling, error responses, or additional charges.

What is the documented maximum number of test cases that can be executed per hour in the Essentials tier? Does this limit differ for the Professional, Enterprise, and Enterprise Plus tiers? What behavior occurs when the limit is exceeded (e.g., throttling, error response, or extra fees)?
