description: >-
  Cargoson does not publish specific public API rate limits. As a multi-carrier
  TMS, request throughput in practice also depends on each underlying carrier's
  own limits and response times, since price and booking requests are relayed to
  carrier systems. Specific per-account or per-endpoint limits are not documented
  publicly and are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public rate-limit figures were found in Cargoson's integration
  documentation. Confirm any account-level or carrier-level limits, throttling
  behavior, and retry guidance directly with Cargoson during reconciliation.
