I have been operating under the assumption that they do not, but now I can’t seem to find anything that explicitly says that.

Hi @Jay_Luker! You are correct, there are not rate limits associated with webhooks, as these are sent at whatever frequency the event occurs. Any usage of webhooks will not count towards any per-second rate limiting 🙂
