Bolt api

Rate Limit Exceeded - Too Many API Requests

API returns 429 Too Many Requests errors. Your app is making requests too quickly and hitting the rate limit.

Works initially then fails after rapid user actions.

Error Messages You Might See

429 Too Many Requests Rate limit exceeded - retry after 60 seconds Too many requests from this IP API usage quota exceeded
429 Too Many RequestsRate limit exceeded - retry after 60 secondsToo many requests from this IPAPI usage quota exceeded

Common Causes

  1. No throttling or debouncing on requests
  2. Multiple requests sent per keystroke (search, filter)
  3. Batch operations sending too many parallel requests
  4. Client-side retry loop without backoff
  5. Load testing or bot sending many requests

How to Fix It

Debounce requests: useDebounce(searchTerm, 500) for search/filter

Throttle API calls: max 1 request per X ms

Implement exponential backoff for retries: wait 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s...

Queue requests instead of parallel: process one at a time or in batches

Check API docs for rate limit: common is 100-1000 requests/minute

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the rate limit?

Check API docs or response headers: X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining

What's debounce vs throttle?

Debounce: waits for pause then fires (search). Throttle: fires max every X ms (scroll)

Should I implement retry logic?

Yes, with exponential backoff. Don't retry immediately - wait 1s then 2s then 4s
