Bot API 429 errors during load test ramp-up

Why is this setting causing 429 Too Many Requests errors when hitting /api/v2/conversations/ai/bot during JMeter ramp-up? Running 100 virtual users on US1 region. Script sends simple chat messages to trigger bot responses. Errors start at 20 concurrent sessions. API docs mention rate limits but not specific thresholds for bot interactions. Need to know if there is a hidden throttle for AI bot endpoints or if my request pacing is too aggressive for the load test configuration.
