  73 Strings fronts its APIs with Microsoft Azure API Management and publishes quantitative limits
  on the APIM product rather than in the API contract. The self-serve "Starter" product publishes an
  explicit quota; the approval-gated products publish none. Every product API signals throttling
  with HTTP 429, but no Retry-After or X-RateLimit-* response header is declared in any OpenAPI.

policies:
- name: Subscription-key scoping
  description: >-
    Limits are enforced per APIM product subscription, and the subscription key is associated with
    a User ID. Requests are additionally scoped by orgId/userId in the request body.
- name: Backoff
  description: >-
    No Retry-After is returned. Clients should apply exponential backoff with jitter on 429.
notes: >-
  16 of the 23 published operations document a 429 response. The 504 documented on bulk transaction
  ingest leaves processing state indeterminate and there is no idempotency key, so a retry after a
  throttle or timeout on that operation should be preceded by a read.
