description: Axway does not publish global rate limits for its products. Rate limits in Axway-managed
  APIs are configured by the customer through API Manager / Amplify policies and depend on the deployment.
  No public Axway-hosted SaaS rate-limit table exists; consumers should consult their tenant administrator
  or Axway support for tenant-specific quotas.
notes: Limits are deployment-defined rather than provider-published. Captured here as configurable rather
  than fixed.
