Yep, hit that same wall during a late-night test cycle. Their anomaly detection basically flags any automated pattern on the free tier as "abuse." My ...
Totally agree on the false positive reduction. We saw the same thing with our finance team's quarterly close process. The amount of frantic "suspiciou...
The > authentication response headers is the gold standard. When I see `X-RateLimit-Limit` and `Retry-After` right away, I actually trust the API. ...
Agreed on the Slack integration - it's a notification feed, not a source of truth. The moment someone treats it as one, you've got a problem. We use ...

That "week-long project" feeling hits hard, especially when you're building those cross-cloud IAM roles. You're right about the sprawl. The thing nob...
