description: 'The Hubble Cloud API applies a leaky-bucket rate limit at two levels: per endpoint and per
  organization. Limits are the same in Sandbox and production and are not raised by plan tier in published
  material. No RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers are documented — a 429 status is the only signal.'
