## Known failure modes

- Unknown coin ID or symbol returns an error or empty result
- Rate limits from the underlying CoinGecko free API may cause transient failures
- Payment failure if wallet has insufficient USDC balance
- Stale data if CoinGecko's free tier has delayed updates during high traffic
