  Multiplier does not publish public API rate limits. The Multiplier API is an
  integration surface accessed with account-provisioned Service User tokens
  rather than an open self-serve API, and the company does not document an
  endpoint-level reference or any associated request quotas. Multiplier's own
  guidance notes that its direct API integration can support a higher frequency
  of data sync than scheduled PECI file exchange, implying throttling is managed
  per integration, but specific RPM/RPD/concurrency values are not documented.
  Any limits should be confirmed directly with Multiplier during integration
  onboarding.
notes: >-
  No public rate-limit documentation exists for Multiplier as of the creation
  date. Values below are placeholders; confirm with Multiplier's integrations
  or partnerships team during reconciliation.

policies:
- name: Account-Provisioned Access
  description: >-
    API access is granted via Service User tokens created by an account
    administrator; throttling is managed per account and integration.
- name: Backoff Strategy
  description: >-
    Standard practice - clients should implement retries with exponential
    backoff and honor any Retry-After signaling if returned.
