🎉 Epic Complete: Rate Limits & Resource Constraints Documentation
Tom's request is DONE. We've added 2,400+ lines of comprehensive rate limit documentation across 6 plugins, plus a standardized template for all future plugins.
🌟 Community Champion: @TomLucidor
Tom asked for transparency. We delivered.
His December feedback transformed this marketplace:
- "Which plugins require paid APIs vs free/self-hosted?" → v4.1.0 (Make All Plugins Free initiative)
- "Note rate limits and registration requirements. Ideally agents with skills would learn how to be resourceful with a single IP." → v4.3.0 (THIS RELEASE)

You kept us honest. Now every major service type has:

- ✅ Multi-agent coordination code examples
- ✅ Cost comparisons (paid vs free)
- ✅ Hybrid approaches (best of both worlds)
The marketplace is better because of you.
