An agent or integrator cannot implement correct backoff: there is no limit to respect, no counter to read, and no Retry-After to obey. Emitting standard RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining / RateLimit-Reset headers, or simply documenting the API Gateway usage-plan throttle that likely already exists, would close this with no new engineering.'
