limit_count: 0
note: >-
  Silent Push publishes NO numeric rate limits. The documentation states only
  that "the number of permitted API calls depends on your subscription level and
  any additional purchases" and that Silent Push emails the customer when the
  daily API limit is reached - a quota expressed as a commercial term, never as
  a published figure. No tier, window, burst or per-endpoint number appears
  anywhere on the public docs.

quota_model:

    section: 'Users & Quota'
    description: >-
      The API exposes endpoints to retrieve user profiles, organization quota
      information and current API usage limits. The paths are not published
      outside the login wall, so an agent cannot discover its own remaining
      quota without first reading the gated reference.

response_headers:
  observed: []
  observed_note: >-
    No X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After header was present on live
    responses from api.silentpush.com. Response headers observed on an
    unauthenticated 401 were limited to vary and allow. Rate-limit headers may
    still be emitted only on authenticated or throttled responses, which could
    not be reached without a key.
  documented: []
  documented_note: no rate-limit response header is documented anywhere in the public docs
  exhaustion_status_code: null
  exhaustion_status_note: >-
    the status code returned on quota exhaustion is not documented and was not
    observable

agent_impact: >-
  An agent calling Silent Push has no runtime signal of how much quota it has
  left and no documented retry contract. It learns it is out of credits from an
  email to a human, not from the response.
