Rate Limiting and Throttling for High-Volume Payout APIs
High-volume payouts do not always fail in one obvious, dramatic way. Failures often show up in the seams. A burst of legitimate traffic slows the API, retries pile up, one integration can eat shared capacity, and what looked like a small tuning issue turns into reconciliation pain and duplicate risk later. If you treat rate limiting and request throttling as something to sort out after launch, you can bake debt into the part of the integration you least want to revisit.
