Fedex Rate Limits

FedEx throttles with three mechanisms: daily transaction quotas per organization and per API project (per capability), a per-project rate limit, and per-IP thresholds on the OAuth token endpoint. Exhaustion returns HTTP 429 with a message naming the violation; token-endpoint threshold violations return HTTP 403 for a 10-minute penalty. No rate-limit response headers are documented.
