Coverwhaleinsurancesolutions Rate Limits

Cover Whale documents per-account rate limits on specific quoting endpoints rather than a single global quota. The pre-screen endpoint publishes two concrete ceilings (60/min and 250/day) and the tax-calculation endpoint documents a "quote-scope" ceiling without a numeric value. Breaches return 429 with a Retry-After header and a JSON body carrying retry_after, retry_after_human, and scope. Sustained breaches add a temporary block that returns the same 429 shape with a longer retry_after. The general Introduction page confirms that requests are rate-limited across the API and that 429 responses should be retried with backoff. Limits are counted against the account, "so another partner's traffic can never consume your allowance."
