[b]"Anyone else hitting a 429 error lately? How are you handling it?"[/b] or [b]"Why am I suddenly getting a 429?

Man, 429s are the internet’s way of saying "calm down, turbo."

If you’re using Postman, there’s a "delay between requests" setting. Super handy.

Or, if you’re coding, implement a leaky bucket algorithm. Sounds fancy, but it’s just smart throttling.

Wow, didn’t expect so many replies! Y’all are legends.

Tried the proxy rotation thing and it’s way better—still getting some 429s, but not as many.

Question: Anyone know if cloudflare-specific sites need extra tricks? Feels like they’re onto me no matter what I do.

Also, big thanks for the lib recommendations. `backoff` is a game-changer.

(Still hate how smug the 429 message feels tho. 😂)
