Rate Limiting Question

I noticed that rate limiting was back in 3.0, and have been looking around, but can't tell if it affects the 2.5 API. I'm using the SOAP interface, and was wondering:

1. If rate limiting affects the 2.5 API (I read in this posting that it did not affect the 2.5 API, but it is a pre-3.0-release posting)

2. If there is a way, then, to simulate rate limit conditions with the 2.5 API.

I did find this writeup on the topic, but it gives no implementation specifics.

Thank you very much!

Hi JFraumeni,

Rate limiting does not exist.  Where did you see that rate limiting was re-introduced in 3.0?

http://www.sforce.com/us/resources/tn-5.jsp is on the main "Tech Notes" page. It doesn't explicitly say there is rate-limiting occurring (and is old, to boot,) but being on one of the four main support pages, I assumed it was current.
Thanks very much for setting me straight, one big thing I don't need to handle!

Hi JFraumeni,

This page still exists to support or xml-rpc friends that are using older versions.  It does apply to 2.0 of the soap api though not to any version released after Nov. 2003.
