## Error Handling

- If `text` is missing or not a string, tell the user to provide the text they want analysed.
- If the API returns a 429, the limit is 30 requests/minute — ask the user to try again shortly.
- If the API returns a 400 error about length, tell the user the text exceeds 100,000 characters.
- If the API is unreachable, tell the user and suggest visiting https://www.acetoolz.com/text/tools/word-counter directly.
