rate_limits:
  description: Rentec Direct does not publicly document specific rate limit thresholds for the Open API v3. The API is described as tuned for enterprise throughput while honoring customer entitlements and usage controls. Developers should implement retry logic and exponential backoff to handle any throttling responses gracefully.

  notes:
    - Rate limit details are not publicly specified in Rentec Direct documentation
    - The API is designed to support enterprise-level throughput
    - Implement retry logic with exponential backoff as a best practice
