  Pendle V2 API uses a Computing Unit (CU) billing model. A free tier is available with 100
  CU/minute and 200,000 CU/week at no cost; API key required. Paid plans scale in $10/week
  increments, each doubling the per-minute and weekly CU allowances. Most data endpoints cost
  1-5 CU; the Hosted SDK convert endpoint has dynamic cost depending on which aggregators are
  enabled (KyberSwap: 1 CU, OKX: 1 CU, Odos: 10 CU, ParaSwap: 15 CU per route).
