    Limits are contractual and product-specific; no platform-wide rate-limit reference page is
    published on the developer portal. The Advanced Screening and Monitoring API is the exception —
    its OpenAPI publishes a 10,000-requests-per-user-per-15-minutes periodic limit, a 5-concurrent-
    requests-per-customer limit, and IETF draft-08 RateLimit / RateLimit-Policy / Retry-After response
    headers with a 429 RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED envelope.
