Should probably point out that only open workflow requires this uniqueness constraints. You can have multiple closed workflows with the same ID.

I think default APS limit is 500 now - updated as we're rolling out capacity units. Worth double checking with TLo but good to fix since we're touching the line.

Do we use Id (rather than ID) everywhere?

- Namespaces should be used to reduce the "blast radius" for mission-critical applications.
- Workflows that need to communicate with each other should (for now) be in the same Namespace.
- If you need to share Namespaces across team or domain boundaries, be sure to ensure the uniqueness of Workflow Ids.
- Environments such as production and development usually have requirements for isolation. We recommend that each

- This endpoint is unique to each Namespace. It will always connect to the Namespace, no matter which region(s) the Namespace is using. (Recommended for Namespaces with High Availability)
- A Temporal Client that uses a Namespace endpoint doesn't have to be aware of which region the Namespace is in.
- Restrictions:
- If [High Availability](/cloud/high-availability) is not enabled, then accessing a Namespace via API key + Namespace endpoint is not supported. To use the Namespace endpoint with API keys, a Namespace must have [High Availability](/cloud/high-availability) enabled.

But this is changing soon, right?

I think Temporal Client usually means a Temporal SDK that's interacting with workflows (i.e. https://docs.temporal.io/develop/typescript#temporal-client)

Authing to tcld, Cloud Ops, TF etc doesn't happen from a Temporal Client so this is a bit off (I realize it was already like this, and there's a decent change git blame would show me touching this last).

For accessing the Temporal Web UI, use the HTTPS endpoint in the form:
`https://cloud.temporal.io/namespaces/<namespace>.<account>`. For example:
