Getting hit with a 429 response code - how do you handle rate limiting? or Why am I seeing a 429 resp

Short answer: Delays + retries.

Long answer: Exponential backoff with jitter (randomness) to avoid sync issues.

Some APIs *do* document limits—check their docs for `X-RateLimit-Remaining` or similar.

If not… well, I’ve definitely cried quietly. 😂
