description: Siemens does not publish a unified public rate-limits document. Limits vary per product
  (Xcelerator, Insights Hub, Simatic, etc.) and per contract. Throttle behavior, response codes, and
  retry semantics are defined in each product's developer documentation.

notes: No unified public rate-limit specification. Limits are product-specific and contract-driven;
