  Two distinct ceilings both answer HTTP 429: a per-minute request rate limit (continuous refill,
  not a discrete bucket) and a monthly credit allowance. Distinguish them by x-api-remaining-credits
  on the 429 (0 = out of credits, do not retry; non-zero = rate-limited, retry with backoff). Docs
  recommend exponential backoff with jitter when retry-after is absent.
