notes:
  - Rate limits apply per API key.
  - Sandbox conversions (watermarked, using the sandbox parameter) do not consume credits but may still be subject to rate limits.
  - Asynchronous requests via webhooks can help manage throughput for high-volume workloads.
  - Concurrent conversion limits vary by plan; contact support for Enterprise-level concurrency details.
