Episode 127 of Enterprise Tech with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna drill into a fast-growing contract flashpoint: how Fortune 500 procurement teams are rewriting vendor API rate limits. Three years ago rate ceilings were a technical footnote in software contracts. Today they're a six-figure leverage point, especially as AI agents hammer enterprise endpoints. The hosts walk through one real negotiation where a global bank turned a vendor's 'generous' 10,000 requests-per-second cap into a binding performance guarantee with automatic rebates. They also unpack the hidden cost of burst limits, why flat-rate pricing is dying, and why the next frontier might be API consumption tied to revenue share. No generic advice - just the clause-level tactics that are reshaping enterprise software deals in 2026. #API #RateLimits #EnterpriseSoftware #Procurement #Fortune500 #VendorNegotiation #ContractLaw #SaaS #CloudComputing #AIAgents #PerformanceGuarantees #PricingStrategy #Business #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EnterpriseTech #SoftwareContracts Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
