One origin: block_geoid or lat+lon; keep limit small to control spend and context size. Many origins (up to 250): block_geoids or points — one batch call and one rate-limit request, rows tagged by origin, no limit/pagination, so filter with type/mode/max_minutes. Batching saves requests and context, not tokens: it still charges per row. A non-empty truncated (+ truncated_reason) means the balance or row budget cut the batch short.
