  SAP Fieldglass REST API rate limits are governed by the customer's enterprise contract and SAP Business Technology
  Platform (BTP) entitlements. Rate limit documentation is available through the SAP Help Portal and per-customer
  integration configuration, not via a public rate card.

notes: >-
  Specific numeric rate limits for SAP Fieldglass APIs are not publicly documented. Limits depend on the customer's
  BTP entitlement, contract tier, and integration type. OAuth 2.0 tokens are used for authentication; token
  expiration and refresh policies are documented in the SAP Fieldglass REST API Integration General Reference Guide.
  Contact SAP support or your account team for tenant-specific rate limit information.
