description: DXC Technology does not publish a public rate-limit specification for the Developer Central
  API. Rate limits are negotiated per engagement and enforced at the API gateway. Consumers should follow
  standard rate-limit etiquette (Retry-After, exponential backoff) and confirm thresholds with their
  DXC contact.
notes: No public rate-limit numbers are published. Replace with provider-confirmed values once available.
