  Dub enforces per-minute rate limits on API requests, varying by subscription
  plan. Standard endpoints use per-minute limits while analytics endpoints
  (GET /analytics and GET /events) use per-second limits. IETF-standard
  rate limit response headers are included in all API responses. A 429 Too
  Many Requests response is returned when limits are exceeded.
