  the five specs in openapi/, and live unauthenticated responses from audaconnect.ax-aee.co.uk,
  api-demo.audatex.com and services-pat.auda-target.com inspected for RateLimit-* / X-RateLimit-* /
  Retry-After headers (2026-09-17, none present). The 2026-05-04 scaffold (10 rpm free / 100 rpm
  professional / 1000 rpm enterprise with X-RateLimit-* headers) has been REPLACED — those numbers
  and headers were invented and are not published by Audatex.

  Audatex publishes NO rate limits. The only limit signal in the whole estate is a 429 response
  declared on a single API Gateway operation (POST /api/v1/PingEvent — "Returns an error if the
  rate limit has been exceeded") with no limit value, window or Retry-After header documented.
  AudaConnect's only cadence guidance is prose: poll a notification subscription "e.g. every 5
  minutes".
limit_count: 0
headers: {}
responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
  note: Declared only on POST /api/v1/PingEvent in openapi/audatex-api-gateway-openapi.yml; no other operation declares 429.
