description: >-
  The OwnerRez API v2 is protected by a per-IP rate limit of 300 requests every
  5 minutes. The limit is evaluated continuously; once an IP reaches it, all
  further requests return HTTP 429 with a JSON error body, and the IP is
  automatically unblocked once its request rate falls back below the limit.
  OwnerRez recommends queuing work and avoiding inline processing when webhooks
  are received so integrations stay within the limit.
notes: >-
  The documented limit is per source IP, not per account or per token. For most
  integrations serving a few dozen users the default limit is sufficient when
  following best practices. Verify current numbers in the API rate-limiting
  support article during reconciliation.
