 If you still have problems building your documentation,
 we can increase build limits on a per-project basis,
 sending an email to support@readthedocs.org providing a good reason why your documentation needs more resources.

+Using sphinx-autoapi to avoid installing dependencies
+------------------------------------------------------

+installation and import overhead entirely.
