  and configured per organization and per model. The exact per-tier limits
  are not publicly disclosed and are pending reconciliation.
notes: >-
  Documentation references RPM and TPM limits; specific values are
  contract-dependent. Verify in the dev.writer.com rate-limit guide for
  the active organization.
