description: >-
  AAM does not publish public API rate limits. Supplier EDI throughput is governed by the supplier agreement and EDI VAN configuration. Reconcile if AAM publishes public limits.
notes: >-
  American Axle & Manufacturing (now Dauch Corporation) operates supplier-facing EDI and the iSupplier portal rather than a public, priced API. EDI onboarding is mandatory for suppliers but governed by the standard automotive Tier-1 supply agreement, not a public price list. No public rate-limit documentation. Reconcile if AAM publishes a public API.

    description: >-

      limits. Throughput, concurrency, and burst behavior are governed by the
      relevant partner, supplier, or merchant agreement.

    description: >-
      Where any HTTP API is exposed, clients should implement exponential
      backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header returned on 429
      or 503 responses.
