Rate limited

rate_limited

Too many requests were sent in a short time. Wait, then try again.

What this means​

Requests from your account, token or network went over the limit for this kind of request.

How to fix it​

Wait for the number of seconds in the Retry-After header, then send the request again. If you send many requests, spread them out.

Retry behavior​

Retry after the Retry-After interval.

How it appears in the response​

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.

{
  "type":    "https://docs.computesphere.com/errors/rate_limited",
  "title":   "Rate limited",
  "status":  429,

}

The Content-Type header is application/problem+json. On field-level validation errors a non-empty errors[] array also appears, each entry carrying its own docs_url for the offending field.
