description: >-
  Route Mobile publishes explicit numeric API rate limits for the SendClean email product only.
  The messaging products (SMS, WhatsApp Business, RCS, Viber) declare HTTP 429 responses in
  their OpenAPI definitions and reference WhatsApp/Meta messaging tiers, but publish no numeric
  request-per-second ceiling and no RateLimit response headers. Throughput on the messaging
  side is governed commercially, per account, and by the downstream operator and Meta tiers.

undocumented:
- api: Route Mobile SMS API
  note: >-
    No numeric limit published. Throughput is governed by account credit (error 1025) and
    operator-level throttling; the API returns platform code 1715 (response timeout) under load.
- api: Route Mobile WhatsApp Business API
  note: >-
    No Route Mobile numeric limit published. Meta messaging tiers (TIER_1K and above) surface
    on the account-details response, and Meta rate-limit codes (80007, 130429, 131048, 131056)
    arrive on the callback channel.
- api: Route Mobile RCS / Viber
  note: HTTP 429 declared on nearly every operation; no numeric limit or headers published.
