  ODNI documents no rate limits, and the API returns no rate-limit signalling of any kind. A live
  unauthenticated response carries no X-RateLimit-*, no RateLimit-* (RFC 9239 draft), no Retry-After and
  no quota header. There is no developer portal or terms page stating a call ceiling. An agent has no
  runtime signal to back off on; the only observable throttle is whatever the Akamai edge in front of the
  origin applies silently. The robots.txt on the same host asks non-SearchGov crawlers for a 10-second
  crawl delay, which is a courtesy request to crawlers rather than an API limit, and is recorded below as
  the only published pacing guidance that exists.
