  The provider documents no rate-limit response headers. No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or
  Retry-After header is described in the API Guide, and none was observed on the unauthenticated
  probe of https://seller.marketplace.sears.com/SellerPortal/api/oms/purchaseorder/v19 on
  2026-08-28. An agent cannot read remaining quota at runtime; it can only count its own calls.

    File-type limits reset on a rolling hour measured from the first call in the window — the guide's
    own worked example is a seller posting 600 catalog files between 11:05 and 11:58 who must wait
    until 12:05. An IP that exceeds the per-minute ceiling is throttled for 15 minutes.
rate_limits:
  - scope: per-ip
    window: 1 minute
    limit: 500
    applies_to: all PUT and GET calls
    penalty: IP throttled for 15 minutes
