BTW this limitation made me believe that the data distributed with Protomaps is limited to that zoom level in general. Some wording related to "data" and "shopping" near that map quickly made me assume that deeper zoom levels will cost money.

Are you presenting a limitation of the product on the front page or is this just a limiting presentation of your product? Mind the difference.

The limitation is of the demo, which uses a publicly accessible asset on cloud storage.

The near-term goal for Protomaps to support z15, which is beyond what most OSM-based solutions provide; there's over a billion addressable tiles for just this one zoom level, and the Protomaps format (PMTiles) is designed with these use cases in mind.

I'll find a better way to communicate this on the site, thanks.
