HTTP 429rate_limited

Rate limit exceeded

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-After` header’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.
