  Connells Group publishes no rate-limit documentation. Everything below is
  observed behaviour recorded during enrichment probing, not a provider claim.

  note: >-
    No RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset (draft IETF
    RateLimit header fields) and no X-RateLimit-* headers are returned on
    successful responses, so a client has no forward signal of its budget — the
    only signal is the 429 itself plus Retry-After.
rate_limits:
  - name: anonymous-burst
    scope: per client IP, across all /api/* route handlers on www.connells.co.uk
    limit_count: null
    interval: null
    limit_observed: >-
      Sustained sequential probing of roughly 15 distinct /api/* paths tripped
      the limit; the exact threshold is not published and was not measured.
    retry_after_seconds: 34
    response_status: 429
pagination_ceiling:
  note: >-
    A second, harder throughput constraint is that the list endpoints cap output
    at a fixed 12 records per call and honour no paging parameter, so the full
    162-branch and 841-staff collections are not retrievable through the
    endpoints at all. See conventions/connells-conventions.yml.
