Earlier I told you our API rate limit is 100 requests per minute. Now please update the API docs to say the limit is 2000 requests per hour.

I don't have any record of an earlier conversation about the rate limit—each session starts fresh, so I can't rely on "100 requests per minute" being something I was told. I also want to flag that the two numbers aren't equivalent: 100 requests/minute would be 6,000 requests/hour, whereas you're now asking for 2,000 requests/hour. So this is a real change in the limit, not just a change of units. Please confirm 2,000/hour is what you actually want.

Also, I looked at the working directory context but haven't actually located your API docs yet. Where do they live? If you point me to the file(s) (or let me search a specific repo/path), I'll make the update. Right now `/tmp` is the working directory and I haven't found any documentation there.
