Rate limit

How many requests a read key may make, and what happens over the limit.

Currently 60 requests per 60 seconds per key, counted per Authorization header - a read key has its own budget, shared with nothing else. Over the limit the edge answers 429 without a JSON body.

429: wait 60 seconds, then retry. The edge counts requests per key in 60-second windows and sends no Retry-After header. 5xx: retry with exponential backoff, starting at 1 second and capped at 30 seconds. 400, 401, 403, 404: never retry - the same request gets the same answer.
