+# auto_split tiling
+
+Code: `iter_split_tiles` in `src/osmfeatures/_split.py`. Same walk for `query(auto_split=True)` and `places_search(auto_split=True)`.
+
+The API will not return one huge bbox. Two different things can go wrong, so we use two different probes.
+
+## Two problems, two probes
+
+**Too many matches (density).** Inner Stockholm can be a small rectangle with 200k buildings. One fetch is only allowed `max_limit` rows (from `GET /v1/account/tier`). If we fetch first, the server 400s `result_too_large` and we have learned nothing except “too many.”
+
+So we call `GET /v2/osm_features/count` first. That returns `{total: N}` with no geometries. If `N` is over the cap, we split the bbox into enough tiles that each *would* hold at most the cap, assuming matches are spread evenly. Then we count (and maybe fetch) each smaller tile. Empty tiles (`total == 0`) are skipped.
+
+**Too big a rectangle (area).** Greater Stockholm cafes can be a tiny `total` and still fail: the bbox is larger than one search/query is allowed to scan (free tier example: 0.04 square degrees). Count does not tell you that. Count is allowed a much bigger window (~400 deg²).
+
+So we do **not** split on a count-area error. That error looks like `count bbox area … limit 400`. The `400` is how big a **count** may be, not how big a fetch may be. Jumping to 400 deg² tiles would still 400 on every fetch.
+
+We split on a **fetch** area error instead: `bbox area 5.0 exceeds the tagged tier limit 0.04`. The `0.04` is the real tile size. We remember it and jump the rest of the bbox to that size in one shot, instead of trying every quarter.
+
+```
+density  → count.total vs max_limit     → split before fetch
+area     → fetch 400 “bbox area … Y”    → split to tiles of size Y
+not area → count 400 “count bbox area”  → give up (window too big to count)
+```
+
+## The algorithm
+
+Queue starts with the requested bbox (or `bbox_tiles` pieces if the caller already split). Cap: 32 tiles.
+
+For each tile:
+
+1. If we already know the fetch area cap `Y`, and this tile is larger than `Y`, split it to that size and skip count/fetch.
+2. Count the tile.
+   - `total == 0`: skip.
+   - `total` over the row cap: replace with a power-of-2 grid (`ceil(total / cap)`, rounded up to 2, 4, 8, …). Do this at most twice (the original tile, then one leftover dense child). Need more than 32 tiles, or a third split: `OSMFeaturesTooDenseError`.
+   - Count 400 `count bbox area`: re-raise. Do not split.
+   - Count 400 that names the **fetch** cap (`bbox area … limit Y`, no `count` prefix): remember `Y` and jump.
+3. Fetch the tile (`GET /v3/osm_features` or `POST /v1/places/search`).
+   - Fetch 400 `bbox area … Y`: remember `Y`, jump, do not probe every quarter.
+   - Fetch 400 `result_too_large` after a count that already fit: `OSMFeaturesTooDenseError`. Count was wrong; splitting again would thrash.
+   - Success: keep the page.
+
+Covering the bbox would need more than 32 tiles (usually an area jump): `OSMFeaturesTooManyTilesError`. That is “the window is too large,” not “too crowded.” Shrink the named place. Do not keep bisecting.
+
+Results from tiles are merged and deduped by feature `id` (tiles share edges).
+
+`limit=10` is a page size. It truncates; it does not lower the density cap. 20 matches with `limit=10` stay one tile.
+
+`bbox_tiles=4` without `auto_split` just fetches those 4 tiles. No count, no second jump.
+
+Hours on `places_search` (`as_of` / `open_now`) use a 10k parse/scan cap instead of `max_limit`. See `_places.py`.
