| "Although precision specified in the PUB and in `run` have higher precedence, the job would fail if `twirling` is enabled and the product of `num_randomizations` and `shots_per_randomization` is smaller than the shots needed to achieve the precision. In this scenario `EstimatorV2` does not know how to allocate the shots among the specified `num_randomizations`.\n", | ||

I kept them separate only because they refer to different things, but I don't feel too strongly either way. Do we usually use 1 box to group these together?

If they are related enough, we can list them as bullet points in the same admonition - but I think it's fine to keep these as two admonitions, even one after the other like this, since it adds readability and emphasis, which I think you want here. I just wanted to be sure that was the intent.

Per user feedback, this PR adds a note saying an error is raised if the primitive doesn't know how to divide shots among twirls when twirling is enabled.
