  Canopy Connect publishes NO rate limits. Searched the complete documentation
  index (https://docs.usecanopy.com/llms.txt, 123 pages) and the full OpenAPI on
  2026-09-05: there is no rate-limit page, no quota table, no throttling section,
  no 429 response declared on any of the 54 operations, and no
  X-RateLimit-*/RateLimit-*/Retry-After header in any response definition. The
  API plan page names three tiers but attaches no request quota to any of them.
  An honest zero is recorded rather than an invented ceiling.
  This file REPLACES a 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that had invented
  per-minute limits (10/100/1000 rpm), monthly quotas (1,000/100,000), burst
  ceilings and a full header set. None of that was ever published by Canopy
  Connect.

  note: No rate-limit response header is documented or declared in the spec.
responseCodes:

  note: >-
    429 is not declared on any operation. The declared error statuses are 400,
    401, 403, 404 and 500, and none of the 48 documented error codes describes
    throttling or quota exhaustion.

  note: >-
    Not measured against a live authenticated endpoint - this pipeline holds no
    Canopy Connect credentials and does not probe production limits.

gaps:
  - >-
    An agent integrating Canopy Connect has no published way to know how fast it
    may call, no runtime signal when it is close to a limit, and no documented
    status code or header telling it to back off. Combined with the absence of
    idempotency keys (conventions/canopy-conventions.yml), a retry after a
    timeout is unguided in both directions.
