description: >-
  EV Connect exposes its APIs through an API Gateway with "service plans,"
  which implies request quotas and throttling are applied per plan. However,
  no specific rate-limit values (RPM/RPD or daily quotas), throttling response
  codes, or backoff guidance are publicly documented. All values below are
  unreconciled placeholders pending partner/API Gateway documentation.
notes: >-
  Rate limits and quotas are governed by the API Gateway service plan
  associated with a partner agreement and are not published. Reconcile from the
  EV Connect API Gateway developer portal once access is granted.

  description: >-
    Access is mediated by API Gateway service plans; quotas are expected to
    vary by plan but are not published.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: >-
    No backoff guidance is published. Clients should generally implement
    exponential backoff with jitter and honor any Retry-After header returned
    by the gateway.
