  request: []
  response: []
  note: >-
    No rate-limit response headers are documented, because no API reference exists to
    document them in. There is no X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-*, or Retry-After contract, and no
    documented status code for exhaustion.
exhaustion_status: null
description: >-
  Globe Life publishes no API and therefore no rate-limit policy. Any throttling that applies
  to a partner or distributor integration is set in the bilateral carrier-distributor
  agreement, which is not public.
note: >-
  This artifact previously carried one limits[] entry ("Partner-agreement limit", value "see
  partner agreement") written by the 2026-05-04 bulk sweep, which made limit_count read 1 for
  a provider that has published zero limits. It has been removed and limit_count is now an
  explicit, measured 0. No RateLimits credit should follow from this file — it records an
  absence.

      published policy.
