We experienced a brief period of order rejections caused by an upstream venue rate limit being exceeded during a short burst of order traffic. The issue lasted approximately two seconds and has since stabilized. Orders are now processing normally. We are reviewing follow-up improvements to reduce the likelihood of similar rate-limit events.
