description: Crystal Reports / BusinessObjects REST APIs are server-deployed (customer-managed); throughput
  is bounded by the deployment's CMS / processing-server sizing rather than by SAP-imposed quotas. Limits
  are not published as numeric thresholds.

notes: No public, vendor-imposed rate limits exist for Crystal Reports / BI Platform; throughput depends
  on customer-deployed CMS, App Server, and Processing Server capacity.
