description: 'rtcStats does not rate-limit by requests per second and publishes no rate-limit response
  headers. Consumption is metered in credits — one credit per file analyzed — with a monthly allowance
  per plan. The limit is machine-readable at runtime: GET /v1.0/quota (and the get_quota MCP tool) return
  allowedCredits and remainingCredits, and exhaustion is signalled with HTTP 402 "No credits available".'

consumption_rules:
- Monthly credits do not roll over; purchased top-up credits do and never expire while the account stays
  paid.
- Monthly credits are drawn down first; purchased credits are used only after the monthly allowance
  is exhausted.
- Purchased credits become invalid if the account downgrades to Free.
- A successful upload, analyze or enrich consumes exactly one credit.
- Individual chunk uploads in the chunked flow consume no credit — only the assemble step does.
- All three MCP tools (get_quota, list_sessions, get_session) are read-only and consume no credits.
- GET /v1.0/quota, GET /v1.0/observations, GET /v1.0/sessions and DELETE /v1.0/sessions/{rtcstatsId}
  consume no credits.

  request_body_cap: ~4.5MB per request; larger dumps must use the chunked multipart flow
