description: >-
  MobileAPI.dev applies a short-window rate limit (per-minute on Free,
  per-second on Pro/Enterprise) plus a monthly request quota. Limits are scoped
  to the API key. All responses include X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining,
  and X-RateLimit-Reset headers; quota exceedance returns HTTP 429.
