  fields:
  - platform.api_tier
  - platform.rate_limits
  note: Callers can read their own current tier and limits at runtime.
  cli: lev auth status also reports account, scopes, and rate limits.
guidance:
- Implement exponential backoff with progressively longer waits between retries.
- Use bulk endpoints rather than many individual requests.
- Cache responses for static data such as market base rates and asset types.
