429 Rate limited rate-limited

The client sent requests faster than its agreed rate. A client may send a burst of requests at once, then a sustained number of requests per second.

The Retry-After header gives the number of seconds to wait.

What to do

  • Wait for the Retry-After seconds, then send the request again.
  • Spread requests over time instead of sending them in bursts.
  • If your traffic needs a higher rate, contact your Spirius account manager.

A refused request is not counted against the client's quota.

A 429 without a problem document

A 429 whose body is not application/problem+json comes from the Spirius network edge, which limits how fast one address may call. Slow down and try again after a few minutes.
