Policies

Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter on 429 responses and honor the Retry-After header where present.
Tenant Scoping
Limits apply per Guidewire Cloud tenant; raises require working with the Guidewire account team.
Fair Use
Sustained traffic above contract-defined volumes may be subject to fair-use throttling regardless of tenant scale.
