Observed 2026-07-21/22 across two independent pulls ~16h apart: /api/health?compact=1 reports globalTendersSam SEED_ERROR (records 77, seedAgeMin 355 > maxStaleMin 180); source state 'stale' with HTTP 429 from SAM.gov. Impact: a US-scoped tender query (country=US query=cybersecurity) returned zero records with availability 'partial' — the first query a US BD prospect would try. Likely needs SAM_GOV_API_KEY rate-limit backoff tuning or request budget spread across the hourly seed. Surfaced while pulling live receipts for the blog receipts round (PR link in comments).
