HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests

Rate limiting is active and requests must slow down.

status-summary.log
HTTP 429 Too Many Requests

The service is protecting itself from burst traffic, abuse, or excessive automation by temporarily limiting request volume.

Respect Retry-After headers and backoff. Repeated retries can prolong the block window.

likely-causes.lst
  • $Client exceeded per-IP, per-user, or per-token rate limits.
  • $Automated polling interval is too aggressive.
  • $Shared NAT or proxy caused multiple users to appear as one source.
  • $Abuse-prevention controls flagged a request pattern.
recovery-steps.md
  1. Pause and retry using exponential backoff.
  2. Honor Retry-After if provided by the server.
  3. Reduce concurrency and polling frequency in automation.
  4. Review rate-limit policy and request higher limits only if justified.

Use these pages for debugging and user guidance. In production, configure your host or reverse proxy to return the matching HTTP status code for the route (especially for 429 and 404/500 responses) rather than serving a 200 with error-themed content.
