Rate limited

https://api.quotastack.io/errors/rate-limited

You sent too many requests in a short time. QuotaStack turned this one away.

Why it happened

  • Your calls went over the limit for the window.
  • A retry loop fired with no wait between tries.

How to fix it

  1. Read X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining on the reply.
  2. Wait, then try again. Double the wait each time.
  3. Batch your usage events, instead of one call per event.
