I don't see anything about use limits (as in number of maps generated per day). Has anyone seen this documented elsewhere?

There is no information about use limits, but you need a paid Apple Developer Program account.
> but you need a paid Apple Developer Program account.

Where was "paid" bit listed? You don't have to pay the yearly fee to have a developer account. I let my paid subscription expire a few years ago, and I can still login and do various things.

You need to generate a certificate in the Developer backend, and for that you need a paid account.
Do you have to own a Mac or anybody can register one of those accounts and use MapkitJS?
Anyone can register for an account, no need for a Mac.
at this point, Apple would _pay you_ to use it if they thought it would help adoption. MapKit usage outside of iOS is a critical to the success of Apple Maps.

long term, I wouldn't be surprised if maps.apple.com gained a web experience, too
