description: >-
  The Architect of the Capitol documents no rate limits, quotas, throttling behaviour or
  rate-limit response headers. There is no developer program and no reachable API host to observe
  headers on: api.aoc.gov returns NXDOMAIN (checked 2026-09-06), and www.aoc.gov/developers,
  /api and /.well-known/api-catalog all return 404. An honest zero.

  REPLACES A SCAFFOLD. Until 2026-09-06 this file carried five invented limits (10/100/1000 rpm,
  1,000 and 100,000 requests per month) and an invented X-RateLimit-* header set written by the
  2026-05-04 bulk sweep, method: generated. None of it was published by the Architect of the
  Capitol; it has been removed rather than left to be read as provider data. See roadmap#35.
