Salt Edge Account Information

1. Treat HTTP 406 with error_class RateLimitExceeded as a rate limit and back off; it isn't a content-negotiation error
2. Start with fakebank_simple_xf in country XF; it needs no bank sandbox
3. Sign requests from the start even in Test, so the move to Live doesn't change your client
4. Follow next_page from the meta block rather than building from_id URLs yourself
5. Revoke with PUT /api/v6/consents/{consent_id}/revoke when the user is done

Teller

1. In sandbox call https://api.teller.io/accounts with -u "$TELLER_ACCESS_TOKEN:" and no certificate; add the client certificate only for development and production
2. On a 404 enrollment.disconnected.* code, stop and send the user back through Teller Connect in update mode; retrying won't help
3. Pin the Teller-Version header so a dashboard upgrade doesn't change response shapes under you
4. Widen transaction syncs 7 to 10 days past the last sync to catch pending items that change date
5. Send an Idempotency-Key on every payment request; keys are kept for 72 hours
