rate_limited

This key has spent its burst budget.

What to do

Wait the number of seconds in Retry-After, then continue. Better: pace off X-RateLimit-Remaining, which every response carries, instead of discovering the ceiling by hitting it.

Should you try again?

Yes. Back off and send it again; the same request can work later.

How you'll see it

{
  "type": "https://www.obraledger.com/api/errors/rate_limited",
  "detail": "..."
}

The body also carries a title and a status. The detail is written for a person and we may reword it, so don't match on it. Some failures also carry a violations list naming the fields at fault.

Where it comes from

Any call can return this one.
