"HTTP 429 errors slowing you down? What’s your go-to fix?"

ugh, nothing kills my vibe like hitting that http 429. "Too Many Requests"? Bro, I *know*—I’m just trying to get stuff done!

So how do y’all handle it?

- Backoff & retry: Simple, but sometimes feels like waiting for a bus that never comes.
- Rate limiting headers: If the API’s nice enough to give ‘em.
- Caching stuff: Because why ask twice if you don’t have to?
- Just… slow down? (Boring, but effective.)

Or do you have some sneaky tricks? Share ‘em!

(Also, anyone else just *love* when the docs don’t even mention their http 429 limits? 🙃)
