description: >-
  The Invoiced REST API applies per-account rate limiting to protect platform
  stability. Specific request-per-second / per-minute thresholds are not
  published in the public API reference and vary by account. Clients should
  watch for HTTP 429 responses and back off accordingly. List endpoints are
  paginated via page and per_page (max 100 per page), which serves as a
  practical throughput control. Specific numeric limits are not reconciled in
  this artifact.
notes: >-
  Verify current rate-limit thresholds, any documented headers, and 429
  retry guidance with Invoiced support during reconciliation; values are not
  published in the public reference.
