How does this handle pagination and also how does it behave towards rate limiters? For example, my API (keygen.sh) has a page size limit of 100, and often times there can be hundreds or even thousands of pages for certain resources. How would Steampipe handle `select count(*) from keygen_licenses` while obeying the rate limiter? What if a heavy query is run twice?

Pagination may be handled by the API's golang SDK, if not that's a responsibility of the plugin author.

The plugin SDK provides a default retry/backoff mechanism, and the plugin author can enhance that.

If a heavy query runs twice it'll load from cache the second time, if within the (user-configurable) cache TTL.
