"Getting hit with a 429 response code - how do you handle rate limiting?"

Ugh, just got slapped with a 429 response code AGAIN. 😤

Anyone else constantly running into this? I’m trying to figure out the best way to handle it without completely breaking my flow.

Do you guys just add delays? Use retry logic? Or am I missing some sneaky trick?

Also, how do you even *know* what the rate limits are? Some APIs are super vague about it.

Pls share your hacks—this is driving me nuts!

"429 response code errors - any tips to prevent or resolve them?"

Keep getting 429 response code errors when hitting an API.

Tried adding delays, but it’s still happening sometimes.

What’s your go-to fix? Backoff strategies? Caching? Or just crying quietly? 😅

Help a dev out!
