Herald Rate Limits

Herald's REST API is authenticated per platform with OAuth2 client-credentials bearer tokens. Specific published request-rate limits are not documented for the public API; throttling and any per-environment quotas are governed by the platform's agreement and by downstream carrier constraints on submissions and quoting. Specific values are not reconciled in this artifact.

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

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.
