description: Rate limit information for the Census (Fivetran Activations) Management REST API.

limit_count: 0
notes: >-
  Census publishes NO numeric rate limit for its Management API — no requests-per-second/minute/hour
  figure, no burst allowance, no per-plan tiering, and no documented response headers. The whole
  Activations documentation set was searched on 2026-08-13 (including the API reference introduction,
  authentication and pagination pages) and it contains no rate-limit section for this API. An honest
  zero: limit_count is 0 because the provider documents none, not because none were looked for.
response_headers:
  documented: false
  x_ratelimit: not documented
  ratelimit: not documented
  retry_after: not documented
  exhaustion_status: not documented
destination_side_limits:
  note: >-
    What Activations DOES document about rate limits concerns the destination services it syncs into,
    not its own API: it honours a Retry-After header returned by a destination, surfaces destination
    429s in the API Inspector, and retries failed batches with exponential backoff plus split-batch
    upload.
