Limits
AIM API / FIX session tenant
see AIM contract / FIX session configuration
Per-tenant order throughput, message rate, and concurrent session ceilings are configured at AIM tenant provisioning time.
BLPAPI bridge account/terminal
see Bloomberg BLPAPI documentation
AIM workflows that read or write through BLPAPI inherit BLPAPI's daily field/security caps documented inside the Terminal.
Policies
Tenant-scoped throttling
Limits apply per AIM tenant; raises require Bloomberg Enterprise client services engagement.
Backoff
Clients should respect AIM SDK / FIX session events and apply exponential backoff with jitter on throttled responses.
