Stuck on 429 errors during high-concurrency messaging load test

Running a JMeter script to simulate 200 concurrent users sending messages via the Genesys Cloud Digital Messaging API (/api/v2/conversations/messages). The test environment is configured for a BYOC deployment in Asia/Singapore. After hitting approximately 50 requests per second, the response times spike dramatically, and a significant portion of the requests fail with a 429 Too Many Requests error. The JMeter config uses a ramp-up time of 10 seconds for 200 threads, which should be well within the documented rate limits for standard messaging endpoints. Interestingly, the 429s are not returning a Retry-After header, making it difficult to implement an effective backoff strategy in the test script. The request payload is minimal, just a simple text message to a pre-configured participant. I have verified that the API token has the necessary permissions for messaging. The issue seems to correlate with the WebSocket connection pool reaching its limit, but the exact threshold is unclear. Is there a specific configuration in Architect or the platform settings that throttles digital messaging throughput differently than voice? Any insights on how to tune the load test to avoid hitting these limits prematurely would be appreciated.
