notes: Avaloq does not publish public API rate limits. Limits are governed by the deployment contract
  (SaaS sizing or on-prem cluster sizing) and the institution's licensed throughput.

description: Rate limit posture for the Avaloq API surface. Limits are enforced per-institution and
  scale with the deployed Banking Suite sizing; numeric thresholds live in the customer's deployment
  contract rather than on the public web.

    description: Implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503; honor Retry-After if present.

    description: Sustained throughput must align with the institution's contracted Banking Suite sizing;
      capacity increases require a contract amendment.
  - name: Regulated Workload Discipline
    description: Most Avaloq calls touch regulated financial data; coordinate load tests with Avaloq
      ops to avoid impacting other tenants in shared SaaS deployments.
