I'd like to know if development keys are invalid in self-hosted environments? Is setting environment variables the only way to remove rate limits?

TL;DR
Development keys can be used in self-hosted environments, but abuse checks can be disabled through environment variables.

i can create dev keys on self-hosted. but you can also disable abuse checks via env vars

I don't know what's wrong, my development key isn't working. The endpoint for verifying email addresses is returning a 429 error, even though the header includes the Dev API key.
