Rate limits restrict how many requests a client may send within a time window. Lexware and other APIs protect their stability this way. Anyone ignoring the limits receives errors such as HTTP 429 and risks delayed syncs.
Central Command works with minimum intervals and token-bucket logic, often configurable and sometimes per API key. There can be pauses between instances. Caches reduce the number of required live calls anyway. This keeps multi-instance sync feasible.
Rate limits are not a bug but an operating rule. Good integrations plan for them. Users rarely notice them — except when syncs stall. Then intervals, gaps, and logs help. The command center stays polite toward upstream systems and reliable for teams.
