description: >-
  Century Communities publishes no rate limits, and its one live API surface emits no
  runtime rate-limit signal. Re-checked 2026-09-14 by reading the response headers of the
  Optimizely Content Delivery API the company serves at
  https://www.centurycommunities.com/api/episerver/v3.0 — an honest zero, observed rather
  than assumed.
notes: >-
  The 2026-05-04 version of this file asserted a "Partner contract limit" and a backoff
  policy that nobody published; both were scaffold and have been removed. Cloudflare fronts
  the origin, so an undocumented edge limit may exist, but nothing the API returns tells a
  client what it is.
