  Quotas are monthly request allowances attached to the billing plan, enforced with a daily
  ceiling. They are advertised on the pricing page only — nothing is declared in the OpenAPI and
  no rate-limit headers are returned on the wire.

gaps:
  - No rate-limit response headers; a client cannot pace itself before the 429.
  - No documented burst/per-second limit, only the aggregate allowance.
  - The first-party Python client exposes .limit/.used/.resets_at on RateLimitError, implying the 429 body carries them, but that body is undocumented and undeclared in the spec.
