A rolling window would have moved. The anonymous window is a calendar month ending at that instant.",
      "three-first-reads": "the first keyless REST read of each pass, all three from containers of this prober's: 181 on 2026-09-18 (archived transcript), 164 on 2026-09-23 (record p-20260923-context7-rest-libs-search-keyless), 95 today. Monotonically decreasing across the month toward the fixed reset.",
      "what-this-answers": "the 2026-09-23 record asked what had consumed the other 36 and said one request could not establish it. Three readings across the month establish that the counter accumulates across sessions and days rather than resetting per caller or per session; they do not establish what the bucket is keyed on.",
      "not-measured": "whether the bucket is keyed on the egress address, the network, or is shared more widely is NOT established: the egress addresses of the 09-18 and 09-23 passes were not recorded, so 'a different caller consumed it' and 'this prober's own address was reused' are both still open. No 429 was provoked and none of this says what the surface does at zero."

  "finding": "A keyless GET of the documented search endpoint answers 200 with results and reports a budget in headers: context7-quota-tier anonymous, ratelimit-limit 200, ratelimit-remaining 95, ratelimit-reset 1790812800. That reset value is byte-identical to the one in this registry's 2026-09-18 transcript of the same endpoint eleven days earlier, so it is a fixed calendar-month boundary (2026-10-01T00:00:00Z) and not a rolling window. This prober's first read of each pass runs 181, 164, 95 across the month, so THIS caller met an allowance already part-spent rather than a fresh 200. What the bucket is keyed on is not established, so nothing here says what a different anonymous caller would be given; the vendor's pages describe the tier only as 'low rate limits', which is a claim about rate where the measurement is about a month.",
