Clarification on Rate Limiting for Jira REST API's Edit Issue Endpoint

[Vivek Chauhan]

I'm currently utilizing the Jira REST API to edit issue and have encountered some inconsistencies regarding rate limiting. Some official documentation mentioned a limit of 500 requests per 5 minutes. However, in practice, I haven't received 429 errors even after making 600 requests within this timeframe. Conversely, when making concurrent API calls, I occasionally encounter 429 errors.

Could someone provide clarity on the exact rate limiting parameters for the Update Issue API? Is there a difference in rate limiting when requests are made concurrently versus sequentially? Additionally, are there specific thresholds or conditions that trigger the 429 errors?

Understanding the precise rate limiting behavior would greatly assist in optimizing our application's interaction with the Jira API.

I have read that document, but no exact rate limits are mentioned in there. And i want the exact rate limits to handle 429 error in my app.
