[Question] How are limits decided if I build the pages myself

Basically I want to understand how are the limits decided if I build the pages locally or on some CI server and the just push the artifacts to cloudflare to deploy? The limits (https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/limits/) states that "Each time you push new code to your Git repository, Pages will build and deploy your site. You can build up to 500 times per month on the Free plan." If I build it and just trigger a deployment based on the artifacts, does it account into the 500 builds per month?

Nope. When deploying yourself, the only limit is the API rate limit
