Status code 429? More like status code "go touch grass."
Jokes aside, I’ve had success with circuit breakers (like `opossum` for Node). They stop the requests entirely if the API is overwhelmed, which is better than spamming it.
Also, check out the API’s docs—sometimes they offer batch endpoints to reduce the number of calls.

Wow, thanks for all the tips! Didn’t even know about `Retry-After` headers—gonna check that next time.
Tried the exponential backoff with `retry` in Python, and it’s already way better. Still getting some status code 429 errors, but way fewer.
Anyone got experience with rate limiting in serverless setups? Heard it’s a whole other beast.
