A single bulk request costs 1 credit, not 1 per contact\n2. Ask for phones only when needed. A phone is 5 credits against 1 for an email\n3. Use the Buying Group endpoint. Decision Makers was retired on 2026-09-04\n4. Use `/v3/lookalike/contacts` for contact lookalikes\n5. Back off exponentially on 429.
