Plan limits API

DETAILS: Tier: Free, Premium, Ultimate Offering: Self-managed

The plan limits API allows you to maintain the application limits for the existing subscription plans.

The existing plans depend on the GitLab edition. In the Community Edition, only the plan default is available. In the Enterprise Edition, additional plans are available as well.

Administrator access is required to use this API.
