  status_on_exhaustion: 429
  note: >-
    MLS Grid documents the numbers but publishes NO runtime signal - no RateLimit-*, no X-RateLimit-*
    and no Retry-After header is documented or observable anonymously (every anonymous request is
    rejected at 401 before a limit is evaluated). An agent cannot read its remaining budget from a
    response; it has to count its own requests. On exhaustion the access token is SUSPENDED and the
    vendor account primary contact is emailed, and permissions are reinstated automatically once
    usage falls back within the limits.
media_limit:
  scope: per-media-item
  rule: >-
    From 2026-09-08 each signed MediaURL is single-use for one hour - a second download of the same
    media item, or re-requesting a fresh URL for it, inside that hour returns HTTP 429.
