Explanation

Pagination is the API feature that limits the number of records returned per response and provides a mechanism (e.g., page numbers, offsets, or cursor tokens) to retrieve subsequent pages. Returning only 25 records at a time when 550+ exist is a classic pagination pattern. Rate limiting restricts how many API calls can be made in a time window, not the size of each response. Payload limit refers to request body size, not result sets. Service timeouts disconnect long-running calls.
