  with no separate metering of the public REST API. Charges roll up to a

notes:
  - The HR Partner REST API is not metered or billed as a separate product;
    it is bundled with all paid tiers.
  - Rate limits (60 req/sec, 900 req/min burst) are uniform across plans and
    do not factor into billing.
  - No public credit, refund, or discount programs are documented beyond the
    annual-billing 11-month equivalence and the (time-limited) 50%-off first
    12 months promotion observed during the pricing page review.
