  Published limits for Amazon CodeGuru Profiler. AWS publishes a resource QUOTA for this
  service but does NOT publish a request-rate limit, a window, a burst allowance, or any
  rate-limit response headers.
limit_count: 1
limits:
  - name: Number of profiling groups per account and region.
    scope: per-account-per-region
    limit: 500
    unit: profiling groups
    window: none
    burst: null
    adjustable: true

    exhaustion:

        - AddNotificationChannels
request_rate_limits:
  published: false
  note: >-
    No per-operation TPS, per-key or per-account request rate is published for
    codeguru-profiler in the AWS General Reference or the service documentation. Requests are
    throttled — the API declares ThrottlingException on 20 of 23 operations — but the actual
    ceiling is not disclosed, so a client cannot budget against it in advance.
response_headers:
  rate_limit_headers: []
  retry_after: false
  note: >-
    CodeGuru Profiler documents no RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After response headers.
    The only runtime exhaustion signal is the exception itself. This is the meaningful gap for
    an autonomous client: it can detect that it was throttled but cannot learn its remaining
    budget or a server-specified wait, so it must fall back to blind exponential backoff.
exhaustion:
  status: 429
  exception: ThrottlingException
  body: '{"message": "The request was denied due to request throttling."}'

  evidence: >-
    "Your request rate is too high. The AWS SDKs automatically retry requests that receive this
    exception. Reduce the frequency of requests."
