  standard:

    - {header: RateLimit-Limit, example: '100'}
    - {header: RateLimit-Remaining, example: '99'}
    - {header: RateLimit-Reset, example: '60', note: 'seconds until reset, rounds down'}
    - {header: Retry-After, note: 'seconds until reset; authoritative on a 429'}
  legacy:
    - {header: X-RateLimit-Limit}
    - {header: X-RateLimit-Remaining}
    - {header: X-RateLimit-Reset, note: 'Unix epoch timestamp, rounds up — can disagree with RateLimit-Reset by one second'}
  exposed_via_cors: [RateLimit-Policy, RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining, RateLimit-Reset, Retry-After]
  present_on: every response, not only 429s
exceeded_response:
  status: 429
  body: '{"status":"error","error":{"code":429,"message":"Too Many Requests","details":"Rate limit exceeded. Try again in 60 seconds.","retryAfter":60}}'
caching:
  cache_control: 'public, max-age=3600, stale-while-revalidate=86400'
  caveat: >-
    A cached response carries the RateLimit-* values from when it was stored — a hint, not a ledger. A 429
    is the authoritative signal.
