%X The inverse Compton (IC) limit, TB&lsim;1012 K, on synchrotron sources places a severe limit on models for intraday variables. The conventional limit is relaxed for proton synchrotron emission, or when acceleration balances IC losses. Coherent emission avoids the limit entirely but introduces other difficulties that have been inadequately discussed.
