note: >-
  Smarter Sorting publishes NO rate limits. There is no rate-limit or throttling section in the
  developer portal (/docs/rate-limits returns 404), the words "rate limit", "throttle", "quota",
  "429" and "Retry-After" appear nowhere in the developer guide, no X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or
  Retry-After response header is declared or documented, and no operation in the spec declares a
  429 response. An agent has no runtime signal to back off on and no documented number to design
  against. This is a checked zero: the docs are public and readable, and they say nothing.
documented_ceilings:
  note: >-
    Two hard ceilings ARE published, but they are payload/shape limits rather than rate limits, so
    they are recorded here separately rather than as limits[].
  ceilings:
  - name: page_size
    value: 100
    scope: per-request
    source: >-
      openapi getListOfProducts page_size parameter — integer, default 50, minimum 1, maximum 100.
  - name: products_per_job
    value: 5
    scope: per-job
    source: >-
      https://api.smartersorting.com/docs/getting-started.md — "The maximum number of products per
      job is 5."
  - name: recommended_poll_interval
    value: 30 seconds per product per request
    scope: client guidance
    source: >-
      https://api.smartersorting.com/docs/getting-started.md — "We recommend waiting at least 30
      seconds per product in your request."
consumption_model:
  unit: credits
  formula: credits_used = decision_count * product_count
  source: https://api.smartersorting.com/docs/getting-started.md
  note: >-
    Credit consumption is documented as a formula but no credit ALLOWANCE per tier is published,
    so the formula cannot be turned into a budget.
