  summary: >-
    BICS does not publish numeric public rate limits for its developer-portal
    APIs. Throughput is governed by the commercial agreement and by carrier-grade
    traffic controls - A2P SMS in particular is subject to operator-level
    throttling, sender registration, and anti-spam filtering. Applications should
    handle standard HTTP throttling responses and honor any per-account limits
    defined in their contract.
  documented: false
  notes:
  - SMS API delivery is subject to A2P routing rules and operator throttling.
  - Per-account throughput and burst limits are set by the commercial agreement.
  - No public numeric quota, requests-per-second, or rate-limit header is documented on the portal as of the review date.
