Goal
Determine the maximum number of concurrent requests that a single LinkedIn access token can sustain without significant latency increase or rate‑limit errors.
Constraints
LinkedIn documentation lists per‑app and per‑call limits but omits a concurrent‑connection ceiling. Observed latency spikes and 429 responses appear only when multiple threads share the same token, with no Retry‑After header.
Unresolved Questions
- What is the documented or implicit concurrency limit for a single access token on the Marketing API?
- Does LinkedIn enforce a per‑token queue that triggers latency spikes before returning 429?
- How can a client detect and adapt to this undocumented throttling in real time?
