description: >-
  Brick publishes no rate limits. The ontology is distributed as static files, and the Brick Example
  Server is software the consumer runs themselves — any limit is the self-hosting operator's to set,
  not the provider's to publish.

  This file REPLACES a scaffold written by the 2026-05-04 bulk sweep that invented 10/min free,
  100/min professional and 1,000/min enterprise limits with X-RateLimit-* headers and a 429. None of
  it was published by Brick. Verified 2026-09-04: no operation in
  openapi/brick-brick-server-openapi.yml declares a 429 response or any RateLimit / Retry-After
  header, and the documentation at docs.brickschema.org contains no rate-limit, quota or throttling
  guidance.

    result: >-
      Static ontology download served without any RateLimit, X-RateLimit or Retry-After response
      header. Response headers show server: GitHub.com with a Fastly cache in front — brickschema.org
      is a GitHub Pages site, so the only throttling in play is GitHub's own, undocumented by Brick.
