  note: >-
    No rate-limit response headers are documented. The reference contains no
    occurrence of "rate limit", "X-RateLimit", "RateLimit-", "Retry-After" or
    "429". An agent calling this API has no runtime signal of remaining quota and
    no documented status code for exhaustion.
exhaustion_status: null
note: >-
  backstitch documents no published rate limits. What it does document is a
  QUOTA relationship rather than a rate: the embed widget's page views "will
  count as a single API call according to your subscription plan", and topic
  results are capped at `count` max 50 per request (default 20). The subscription
  plan those calls count against is itself unpublished — see
  plans/backstitch-plans-pricing.yml (plan_count: 0). No `RateLimits` pointer is
  emitted, because recording an absence must not be scored as a presence.
