note: Troubleshooting page listing WhatsApp/Twilio error codes. Most rate-limit references are non-numeric
  (e.g. error 4 'reached its API call rate limit', 80007, 130429 throughput limit, 131048 spam rate limit,
  63018). The only numeric rate figure stated is the flow throttling of 10 messages per hour (error 132069).
  No rate-limit headers or HTTP status codes documented.
