What is FedEx API limits? How many times I can call the APIs?

I have gone through documentation here provided http://www.fedex.com/us/developer/web-services/index.html but I am not able to find how many times I can query FedEx APIs

Does anyone have one idea or experience?

I don't want to put a bug in production code, so taking precautions.

Documentation I follow

Thanks

Seems like they do have rate limits as of now (2022): According to this page

The throttling limit is set to 250 transaction over 10 seconds. If this limit is reached in the first few seconds, HTTP error code 429 Too many requests will be returned and transactions will be restricted until 10 seconds is reached; transactions will then resume again. For example, if we receive 250 requests in the first four seconds, an HTTP error code 429 Too many requests - ‘We have received too many requests in a short duration. Please wait a while to try again.’ will be returned and transactions will be restricted for the next six seconds and then resume again.

There are no hard API limits for web services. FedEx does audit logs so they will shut you down if you're sending too many requests, especially with tracking.
