  body: none
  headers:
  - name: Retry-After
    description: 'Indicates how long to wait before making a new request. The response
      includes this header TWICE: once in HTTP-date format (e.g. "Wed, 21 Oct 2015
      07:28:00 GMT") and once in delay-seconds format (e.g. "120").'
    required: true
    evidence: openapi/kontaktio-location-occupancy-openapi.yml#/components/responses/error-429
  window_reset: One minute after the first request in the current window, up to 30
    requests may be sent again (historical-data endpoints).
signalling:
  x_ratelimit_headers: false
  ratelimit_headers_rfc9331: false
  note: No X-RateLimit-*/RateLimit-* quota headers are declared in any published spec
    or documented anywhere; the only runtime rate-limit signal an agent gets is the
    429 status plus Retry-After, and only the Location & Occupancy spec declares even
    that. The Device Management API documents a 60 req/s ceiling in prose but its
    OpenAPI declares no 429 response at all.
guidance:
  backoff: Recommended backoff time is one second; stagger requests and queue work.
