    description: The Colissimo SLS REST web service is accessed under a business contract. La Poste does not publish explicit per-minute rate limits for this service. Throughput limits are defined per contract and enforced by the Colissimo platform. Clients should implement retry logic with exponential back-off when encountering HTTP 429 or 503 responses.
    limit: contract-defined
    period: custom
    scope: account credentials (login/password)
notes:
  - The Colissimo API operates on a separate platform (ws.colissimo.fr) from the Okapi portal.
  - Batch label creation should be rate-controlled by the client to avoid throttling.
  - Contact Colissimo business support for specific throughput allowances.
