## Known failure modes

- Reddit API rate limiting or temporary unavailability returns an error response
- Invalid or malformed query parameters may return an empty list or error
- Payment failure in USDC results in 402 response and no data returned
- Reddit content may be delayed or cached, not always perfectly real-time
