name: DriveWealth Rate Limits
description: >
  DriveWealth imposes rate limits on its REST API to protect platform stability and ensure
  fair usage across all partners. Sandbox and production environments have different rate
  limits. Certain high-latency or low-throughput endpoints have additional specific limits.
  Detailed production rate limits are available in the developer documentation after
  completing a partnership agreement.

rateLimits:
  - name: Sandbox Rate Limit
    description: >
      The sandbox/UAT environment enforces a limit of 5 requests per second to simulate
      realistic production constraints during integration development and testing.
    environment: sandbox
    requests: 5
    period: second
    scope: global

  - name: Production Rate Limit
    description: >
      Production rate limits are higher than sandbox and are determined as part of the
      partner agreement. Specific high-latency or low-throughput endpoints may have
      additional lower limits regardless of overall rate limit thresholds.
    environment: production
    requests: custom
    period: second
    scope: global
    notes: >
      Contact DriveWealth partner support for specific production rate limit details.
      Some endpoints that are high latency or low throughput have additional endpoint-level
      limits that are lower than the global rate limit.

  - name: Endpoint-Specific Limits
    description: >
      Certain API endpoints that are high latency, low throughput, or otherwise not
      intended for frequent calls have additional rate limits applied at the endpoint level.
    environment: both
    requests: varies
    period: second
    scope: endpoint
    notes: >
      Refer to individual endpoint documentation in the API reference for endpoint-level
      rate limit details. These apply in addition to the global rate limits.
