rate_limited (HTTP 429)
Fix: wait the Retry-After seconds, then pace calls with the RateLimit headers. rate_limited (HTTP 429) is a short burst throttle, not your plan quota.
- HTTP status: 429
- Problem type URI: https://nowgetitdone.com/docs/api/problems/rate-limited
What it means
The per-credential burst window was exceeded. This is a short-term throttle, not your billing-period allowance.
Likely causes
- Requests arrived faster than the plan’s per-minute burst allowance.
How to fix
- Back off and retry after the
Retry-Afterheader’s number of seconds. - Read the
RateLimit/X-RateLimit-*headers to pace requests before you hit the wall. - Spread bulk work over time, or upgrade for a higher burst allowance.
