Rate limits documentation

Default rate limits for the k-ID API and for user-facing age verification and parental consent flows are now documented on a dedicated page.

What's new

• API rate limits. Calls to the k-ID API are limited per product: 500 RPS in live mode and 10 RPS in test mode. Requests over the limit return HTTP 429 Too Many Requests.
• Age verification and parental consent flow rate limits. User-facing flows are limited per product: 100 RPS in live mode and 20 RPS in test mode. When the limit is hit, the user sees an in-flow error asking them to wait and try again (no 429 is surfaced to your server).
• Requesting an increase. These are defaults. Contact your k-ID representative if your product needs higher capacity.
• Prelaunch checklists updated. Both the CDK and AgeKit+ prelaunch checklists now reference rate limits explicitly and link to the new page, since live mode ceilings are significantly higher than test mode.
