  Live response headers observed on https://api.pocus.com, https://auth.pocus.com and
  https://docs.pocus.com during discovery probing, 2026-08-26; docs.pocus.com llms.txt index
  searched for a limits page
name: Pocus rate limits
description: >-
  Pocus documents no rate limits for its API. No limits page exists in the documentation index,
  and no RateLimit-*, X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After headers were returned by any Pocus API host.
  The only rate limiting actually OBSERVED was on the documentation host, which returned HTTP 429
  under sequential probing — that is a docs-platform edge control, not a published API limit.

    note: >-
      No rate-limit headers. The host root is fronted by a WAF that returns a JSON denial body,
      but that is an access control rather than a rate limit and carries no retry guidance.
  - host: docs.pocus.com
    headers_present: []
    note: >-
      Returned HTTP 429 with an HTML interstitial titled "Hello there, human!" and no Retry-After
      header, so a client is given no machine-readable backoff signal.

observed_throttling:
- surface: https://docs.pocus.com/*
  status: 429

  trigger: Sequential unauthenticated GETs during contract discovery.
  retry_after_header: false
  body: HTML challenge interstitial, not JSON.
  note: >-
    Documentation host only. This is the ReadMe/Cloudflare edge, and it does not describe the
    product API's limits.

exhaustion_behaviour:
  status_code: null
  documented: false
  note: >-
    What api.pocus.com does on exhaustion is unknown — it could not be observed without an
    authenticated token, and it is not documented.

evidence:
- url: https://docs.pocus.com/llms.txt
  status: 200
  note: >-
    The complete documentation index. It lists no rate limits, quotas, throttling or API limits
    page — the surface is documented for end users and administrators, not for API consumers.
- url: https://api.pocus.com/graphql
  status: 400
  note: Response carried no rate-limit headers.
- url: https://docs.pocus.com/redoc
  status: 429
  note: Observed throttling on the docs host.

note: >-
  limit_count is an honest zero — limits are undocumented, not zero-valued. An agent calling
  api.pocus.com has no runtime signal to pace itself with and no documented ceiling to respect.
