description: TabaPay enforces no fixed per-endpoint rate caps under normal conditions; clients should target ~1
  TPS and remain within 3-5 TPS unless coordinated. Bursts, batching, and polling trigger 503 (spike protection)
  or 429 (polling / daily rolling limit); sandbox is explicitly rate limited and production may block abusive IPs.
