  Hownd documents no rate limits for the Hownd Partner API. The only public
  documentation of the API - the README in the company's own hownd-examples
  repository - covers authentication, the X-Tenant-Id header and the Subscribers
  field contract, and says nothing about throttling, quotas, burst allowances or
  429 behaviour. There is no developer portal, no API reference and no OpenAPI
  in which limits could be declared. Nothing could be observed at runtime either:
  the API requires partner-issued client credentials, so no authenticated request
  was made, and unauthenticated probes of the host return the Go default 404 with
  no rate-limit headers on the response.
