Troubleshooting
429 is a rate limit response. Lower your concurrency, retry with backoff, or switch to a plan with a larger quota.
Common causes
- Too many concurrent requests
- Quota of the current plan exhausted
- Retrying immediately without backoff
How to fix
- Limit concurrency and retry with exponential backoff
- Switch to a plan with a larger quota
- Cache repeated requests
