notes: 'Plains All American Pipeline publishes no public API and therefore no rate limits, quota headers or exhaustion
  status codes; SEARCHED 2026-09-17 across plains.com and the two Salesforce shipper portals. The earlier bulk-sweep
  "Shipper / Customer Connectivity" limit row was our inference and has been removed: limit_count is an honest zero.'
description: There is no public Plains All American Pipeline API to rate-limit. Shipper / customer systems run on
  private B2B portals and EDI pipelines under bilateral terms; throughput, retry behavior, and SLAs live in those
  contracts.
