notes:
  - Publish APIs use per-IP tracking rather than per-user tracking for throttle and concurrent limits.
  - Deluge integration tasks each consume one Developer API call toward the daily limit.
  - HTTP 429 Too Many Requests is returned when any rate limit is exceeded.
  - Daily limits reset based on the Super admin account timezone.
