description: Rutter does not publish numeric API rate limits on its public pricing or developer documentation
  surfaces. Limits are negotiated as part of a Full Access contract. Underlying connector limits (QuickBooks,
  Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, etc.) flow through and apply per-connection. This artifact is left as
  a Contact Sales placeholder until Rutter publishes numeric throttles or shares them under contract.

notes: No public per-second / per-minute throttling values were located. Headers and response codes are
  omitted to avoid fabrication.

  throttled: 429

  - name: Production rate limits
    scope: account
    metric: varies
    limit: contact sales / not publicly documented
    notes: Rutter sets per-tenant limits in the Full Access contract. Downstream platform limits (e.g.
      QuickBooks Online, NetSuite governance units) also apply per connection.
policies:
  - name: Connector pass-through
    description: Many platform-specific limits (QuickBooks Online, NetSuite governance, Xero minute caps)
      are inherited from the underlying integration and surface as 429s through Rutter.
  - name: Contact Sales for production limits
    description: Numeric production limits are negotiated; clients should request them from their Rutter
      account team rather than assuming defaults.
