Limits

Partner / BIN issuing API contract
varies
see partner program agreement
Numeric limits are presumed to be set per partner program. Values not publicly documented.

Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 / 503 and respect Retry-After when present.
Contractual scoping
Rate limits are presumed enforced at the partner / program level rather than via a public per-tier policy.
PCI / regulatory caution
Card-issuing and movement-of-money endpoints typically have lower hard limits and stricter abuse / fraud monitoring than read-only endpoints.
