  AWeber publishes exactly one rate limit, in the FAQ section of the API reference: "AWeber API
  requests are limited to 120 requests per minute, per customer account." There is NO documented
  RateLimit-* / X-RateLimit-* response header, no Retry-After, and no documented reset time — so
  an agent cannot see how close it is to the ceiling, and cannot compute a correct backoff. On
  exhaustion the API returns 403 ForbiddenError with the body message "Rate Limit Error", which
  is the SAME status used for suspended accounts and missing app permissions; the message string
  is the only discriminator. Additionally the collection endpoints cap page size at 100
  (ws.size), enforced with a 400 BadRequestError.

    note: >-
      Per AWeber CUSTOMER account, not per application and not per OAuth client — an integration
      serving many AWeber customers gets 120/min for each of them, but two integrations serving
      the same customer share one budget.

  observed: []
  note: >-
    No rate-limit signalling headers are documented anywhere in the reference, and none were
    observed on an unauthenticated probe of https://api.aweber.com/1.0/accounts (which returns
    400 before any limiter is consulted). This is the single largest agent-readiness gap in
    AWeber's runtime contract.

  disambiguation: >-
    403 is also returned for "Account Temporarily Suspended", account-on-hold and missing
    application permissions. Match on the body message before retrying.
