Description

While we have documentation available for the APIs exposed by Dedicated,

- the API contents are not exposed well in the docs search
- details of error responses and behavior does not have much context in the API docs

For a concrete example, we should provide advice on how clients should handle 429 and 503 responses.

Similar to the docs for our other products, the Cloud Dedicated docs should have a "Troubleshooting" section with a "FAQs" and/or "error messages" page with additional context on API (and other errors) which can be encountered. This could be similar to the [Enterprise FAQs page](https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_influxdb/v1/troubleshooting/frequently-asked-questions/).
