headers:
  count: x-ratelimit-count
  remaining: x-ratelimit-remaining
  reset: x-ratelimit-reset
responseCodes:
  throttled: 429
  quotaExceeded: 429
algorithm: fixed-window
window:
  seconds: 60
scope: company
limits:
  - tier: All Customers
    surface: REST API (all endpoints, all scopes)
    rpm: 300
    rps: null
    burst: null
    notes: 300 authenticated requests per 60-second window, shared across every token belonging to the same company.
  - tier: All Partners
    surface: REST API on behalf of a company
    rpm: 300
    rps: null
    burst: null
    notes: Partners share the company's 300 rpm budget when acting on its behalf; partner-scoped traffic that does not touch a company resource has a separate undisclosed quota.
retry:
  strategy: exponential-backoff
  recommendedFirstRetryDelaySeconds: 5
  recommendedMaxRetries: 5
  honorRetryAfter: false
  notes: Remote does not publish a `Retry-After` header; clients should back off using `x-ratelimit-reset` (milliseconds until window reset).
