Candidhealth Rate Limits

The Candid Health API enforces per-account rate limits and returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests when a client exceeds them. Specific request-per-minute or request-per-second thresholds are not published in the public documentation and vary by environment (staging vs. production) and account; they are not reconciled in this artifact.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests and jobs.
