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

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

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
