  The Brandtech Group publishes no API, so there are no request rate limits,
  no rate-limit response headers and no documented 429 behaviour to record.
  What Pencil does publish is a per-plan CONSUMPTION quota measured in
  "generations" — a commercial allowance, not a runtime throttle — so it is
  captured in plans/the-brandtech-group-plans-pricing.yml and cross-referenced
  below rather than being counted as a rate limit.
