description: >-
  Flightcontrol does not publish specific numeric rate limits for its HTTP
  management API or deploy hooks in the public documentation. The Get Services
  endpoint is paginated (take defaults to 25, max 100), which bounds per-request
  payload size. Practical throughput is also governed by plan-level service caps
  and by the underlying AWS provisioning and deployment pipeline rather than by a
  documented requests-per-minute throttle. Specific per-endpoint limits are not
  reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify any account- or endpoint-level rate limits with Flightcontrol support or
  in the API reference during reconciliation. Clients should treat HTTP 429 as a
  throttling signal and back off.
