description: >-
  The Pinpoint API is served per tenant over HTTPS and returns standard HTTP
  status codes. Specific published request-per-minute or per-day rate limit
  values are not documented in the public developer portal; list endpoints are
  bounded by JSON:API pagination (page[size] 0-1000, default 100) which acts as
  a practical per-request ceiling. Webhook delivery is retried up to 10 times
  over 24 hours with exponential backoff and jitter, with a five-second
  per-attempt timeout. Specific throttling thresholds are not reconciled in this
  artifact.
notes: >-
  No explicit numeric API rate limits are published. Confirm any per-account
  throttling, burst, and quota behavior with Pinpoint support on reconciliation.
