API request rate exceeded
This API key exceeded the shared request rate limit.
- Code
RATE_LIMITED- HTTP status
- 429
What to do now
- Wait at least the Retry-After delay, currently one second, and add jitter before retrying. Reduce polling and prefer webhooks.
Why this happens
- OTP and COD requests, including reads and idempotent repeats, share a limit of 20 requests per second per key.
Before you retry
Honor Retry-After as a minimum delay and add jitter. Keep the same POST body and idempotency key when retrying the same operation.
