Catnip Rate Limits

Chatfuel publishes a rate limit for the Broadcasting API of 25 requests per second per bot, and a hard batch cap of 1,000 phone numbers per Contacts API request. No numeric limits are published for the Dashboard API. Critically, NO rate-limit response headers are emitted on any surface — no X-RateLimit-*, no RateLimit-*, no Retry-After were present on any observed response — so a client has no runtime signal and must self-throttle against a number it read in prose. The page that published that number is itself now a 404.
