Yoast Rate Limits
Yoast does not run a hosted developer API gateway. The plugin exposes functionality via WordPress REST endpoints on the host site, so request throttling is governed by the customer's own WordPress / hosting stack (e.g. Apache / nginx / WP Engine) rather than by Yoast. There is therefore no Yoast-published per-second or per-minute number to reconcile.

Host-WordPress throttling (varies) account
governed by the host WordPress / hosting provider
Yoast does not publish a Yoast-specific rate-limit policy; calls to /wp-json/yoast/v1/* hit the customer's own WordPress install.
Policies
No Yoast gateway
Yoast is delivered as plugin code, not as a managed API; rate limits are whatever the host WordPress / hosting platform enforces.
Backoff
When Yoast call-outs to external services (e.g. yoast.com licence activation) return 429 / 5xx, clients should back off and retry with jitter.
