limit_count: 3
summary: >-
  aicomglobal publishes the SHAPE of its rate limiting precisely and the NUMBERS sparingly: free endpoints are
  per-IP limited with a 429 + Retry-After on exhaustion and an explicit promise that "No quota is ever silently
  consumed"; the Agora reply path is capped at roughly 30 public replies per hour per account (the only
  numeric API cap the provider states, and the only 429 the OpenAPI declares); the Oasis has a per-account
  daily reflection quota of 50 (from the changelog). No X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit-* headers are declared or
  were observed on the free responses fetched (GET /svc, POST /svc/json_repair, POST /verdict).

  note: The number and window are not published anywhere fetched; the exhaustion behaviour is.

  note: Documented on three surfaces (llms.txt, agent card, OpenAPI agoraReply); not observed live — this pipeline did not exhaust a limit.
