description: Rate-limit policy for the Telefónica Open Gateway is not enumerated on the public
  portal. CAMARA-aligned APIs follow the per-API specifications published by GSMA / CAMARA; the
  Telefónica sandbox applies its own throttling, and production limits are set per partner
  agreement.

notes: The Open Gateway public portal does not list per-second / per-minute API limits. Sandbox
  throttling is applied behind sign-in; production limits are a partner-agreement parameter rather
  than a published value. CAMARA / GSMA per-API specs may carry recommended limits.
limits:
  - name: Sandbox Throttling
    scope: account
    metric: varies

    notes: Sandbox limits are visible inside the developer hub once an account is created; not
      published in the public catalog.
  - name: Production Limits

    metric: varies
    limit: see partner agreement
