+Attempted to total Howard's billed labor hours across all clients for 2026-06-01 to 2026-06-12.
+The calc requires fetching each in-range invoice individually (tech attribution `user_id` lives only
+on invoice/ticket line items, not the `/invoices` list endpoint) — 46 ticket-bearing invoices in the
+window. The bulk per-invoice GET repeatedly failed: Syncro's **180 req/min per-IP limit is shared**
+(Discord bot + other sessions also hit it), so any burst beyond a handful was throttled to empty
+responses; paced foreground (perl micro-delay) and patient background runs (90s pre-wait + 1.5s
+pacing + retries) were also starved, returning OK=0/failed=46 even though single and ~5-at-a-time
+GETs work fine. **No billing changes were made — entirely read-only.** To finish later: trickle the
+fetch in bursts of <=6 spaced ~18s apart during a low-contention window (the `.trickle.sh` logic),
+summing `quantity` on line items where `item` matches /labor/i and `user_id==1750`, over invoices
+with `date` in range. Session closed at user request; no new tickets/invoices created since the prior
+content above (#32480 internal already captured).
