notes: Piper Sandler does not publish a public API and therefore does not publish numeric rate
  limits. Any client connectivity uses third-party institutional platforms whose limits are
  governed by those platforms.
description: There is no public Piper Sandler API surface to rate-limit. Institutional client
  connectivity flows over licensed third-party platforms; throttling, if any, is governed by the
  licensed platform rather than by Piper Sandler.
