notes:
  - Credits are consumed per call, with surcharges on some record types — see
    https://whoisfreaks.com/documentation/surcharge-usage.
  - Live usage and remaining credits are readable programmatically via the
    accountUsage operation (GET /v1.0/whoisapi/usage).
  - Prices captured 2026-08-09 for the 50,000-credit tier; the other six credit
    tiers are listed on the same page but their prices were not captured here
    rather than estimated.
