description: >-
  Rockwell does not publish category-level rate-limit numbers for FactoryTalk Optix, Hub, or
  DataMosaix REST APIs. Throttling, if any, is governed by license terms and per-site
  deployment rather than a public API contract.
notes: >-
  Public rate-limit documentation is not available. Reconcile against license/admin docs after
  Rockwell entitlement is in place.
