Use sync.api.bannerbear.com only for /v5/images, and expect a 408 after 10 seconds\n4. Ask for one format at scale 1 unless you need more, since jpg plus png at scale 2 costs 4 credits\n5. Create a V5 key (bb_ak_v5_) for V5 endpoints, since V2 keys are refused there\n\n### Placid API + MCP\n\n1. Send the token in the `Authorization` header, not as ?api_token=, wherever the client allows it\n2. Read X-RateLimit-Remaining and wait for X-RateLimit-Reset after a 429\n3.
