Search people first at 0 credits, then enrich only the people you'll contact\n2. Branch on `error_details.code` and wait `retry_after_seconds` from the suggestions after a 429\n3. Limits are per team, so read the `x-minute-usage` and remaining headers before a bulk run\n4. Use a scoped key with only the endpoints the job needs. A master key reaches everything\n5.
