  Blackstone publishes ZERO rate limits, because it publishes no API. No RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-*
  or Retry-After headers could be observed either: there is no unauthenticated API endpoint to
  observe. The 429 recorded under responseCodes below is a generic convention, not something
  Blackstone documents or was seen returning.

description: Blackstone does not publish a public API rate-limit policy. The firm operates as an
  asset manager rather than a developer-facing platform; any integration controls live inside LP / GP
  / portfolio-company contracts.
