  - per-object-cap (binding): credit cost per request depends on the features enabled: JavaScript rendering, fetch relay, consumer-connection proxies [1]
- limits note: the per-feature multiplier is unpublished, so the page cap cannot be computed from the credit count and the binding constraint is unknown above the floor

- tooling: not stated
- composes with: A feature-multiplied credit, so a rendered or proxied page costs more than its headline
