description: Conduent does not publish a public developer-portal rate-limit specification. Throttling
  and quota policy is defined per enterprise services contract. Clients should design for 429 responses
  with backoff regardless.
notes: No public rate-limit numbers exist for Conduent's APIs. Reconcile against the active services
  contract or onboarding documentation.
