policies:
  - name: Backoff Strategy
    description: Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter, honoring the Retry-After header
      when present.
  - name: Burst Handling
    description: Short bursts above the steady-state limit are tolerated up to the documented burst ceiling
      before throttling engages.
  - name: Quota Reset
    description: Monthly quotas reset at the start of each calendar month in UTC. Per-minute and per-second
      windows reset on a sliding-window basis.
  - name: Fair Use
    description: Even on uncapped enterprise tiers, sustained usage that materially impacts shared infrastructure
      may be subject to fair-use throttling.
