    "your use of the API will be rate limited to 60 requests per minute, per account that you are
    connected to. This should be more than enough for normal usage, but if you are frequently
    going over this limit, please contact us and we can review. Note that we do not increase rate
    limits preemptively."

  observed: []
  note: >-
    ThriveCart documents no rate-limit response headers. An unauthenticated probe of
    GET https://thrivecart.com/api/external/ping on 2026-08-12 returned HTTP 401 with only
    date, content-type and server headers - no X-RateLimit-*, no RateLimit-*, no Retry-After.
    The exhaustion status code is not documented either. An agent therefore has no runtime
    signal for remaining quota and must budget against the documented 60/minute figure or back
    off blindly. Confirming the exhausted-state headers requires an authenticated token, which
    this pass does not hold.
