Policies

Customer authorization
Smart Meter Texas and Green Button calls operate under explicit customer authorization; authorization scope and duration constrain usable request volume.
Backoff
On 429 / 503, retry with exponential backoff and jitter; honor Retry-After when supplied.
Smart Meter Texas batch windows
SMT bulk usage retrievals are designed around overnight / scheduled batch windows; high-frequency polling is discouraged and may be throttled.
