description: >-
  Rite Aid does not publish API rate limits. Vendor and EDI integrations are governed by
  trading-partner agreements rather than public throttling contracts.
notes: >-
  No public rate-limit documentation exists. Throttling and SLAs are defined per vendor
  contract; no category-level numbers can be reconciled.
