notes: >
  Wealthfront does not publish a public external developer API with documented rate limits.
  Their REST API is consumed internally by their iOS, Android, and web applications.
  Account linking with third-party services (Plaid, Finicity) follows those providers'
  respective rate limits. The following represents known operational constraints.
