Sorry for the misinformation.
On the older revs of hardware (<1.4) that was only true on the 2 amp rail and the limit was actually 1.5 amps. So if you are unsure which rev you have keep the total budget below 1.5 and you are good to go.

The latest rev (1.4) can be identified by removing the bottom cover and identifying the solder mask color. A black solder mask is the latest Revision.
