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
Common Causes
- No throttling or debouncing on requests
- Multiple requests sent per keystroke (search, filter)
- Batch operations sending too many parallel requests
- Client-side retry loop without backoff
- 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

I am a technologist and product builder dedicated to creating high-impact solutions at the intersection of AI and specialized markets. Currently, I am focused on PropScan (EstateGuard), an AI-driven SaaS platform tailored for the Japanese real estate industry, and exploring the potential of Archify.
As an INFJ-T, I approach development with a "systems-thinking" mindset—balancing technical precision with a deep understanding of user needs. I particularly enjoy the challenge of architecting Vertical AI SaaS and optimizing Small Language Models (SLMs) to solve specific, real-world business problems. Whether I'm in a CTO-level leadership role or hands-on with the code, I thrive on building tools that turn complex data into actionable value.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently 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
