## Title

    [PydanticAI] UsageLimitExceeded: The next request would exceed the request_limit of 50

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): UsageLimits defaults request_limit=50; the check raises before the 51st request.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Message history is not returned on the exception by default (feature request #1083).
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/issues/1083 (github_issue, 2025-03-09, reported_symptom): User hit 'The next request would exceed the request_limit of 50' and asked for access to message history on UsageLimitExceeded; closed as feature request.
    - https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic-ai/pull/8705 (github_issue, unknown, official_recommended_action): Maintainer troubleshooting entry: hit configured request limit; increase limit or reduce requests.
