University Of Oxford Rate Limits
The University of Oxford publishes no rate-limit table, no quota and no Retry-After header on any institution-operated surface, and none was observed in probing. What it does publish, uniquely for ORA, is an etiquette policy in prose: harvesters wanting all or a large sample of the repository are asked to contact the service first, and Oxford states that unexpected spidering or scraping may lead to access being blocked. That is a social control enforced by a human decision, not a technical limit a client can read. Separately, ora.ox.ac.uk sits behind Cloudflare and issues managed challenges (HTTP 403, cf-mitigated: challenge) to non-browser clients on some paths — bot mitigation rather than rate limiting, but the practical failure mode a naive client will hit first.
