Rate limiting errors

Rate limit errors occur when you exceed the maximum number of allowed requests within a specified time frame.

When too many requests are made to our API in a short period, it will respond with 429 Too Many Requests error. This is a standard mechanism to:

• Protect our infrastructure from overwhelming traffic.
• Ensure fair usage across all API consumers.
• Maintain consistent service quality for all users.

HTTP status code	Common causes	Troubleshooting tips
429 Too Many Requests	Indicates that the rate limit has been exceeded.	- Wait before retrying. - Reduce concurrent API calls. - Slow down your request rate.

Key recommendations to avoid hitting rate limits:

• Implement request throttling to control the flow of requests.
• Use exponential backoff.
• Implement request queuing to pace requests and avoid overwhelming the API.
• Use caching to minimize unnecessary API calls.
