Error message

429 Too Many Requests: Rate limit exceeded

What broke

The application made too many requests to an API or server in a short period, triggering a rate limit error. This is a common safeguard to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage among users.

Why it broke

It broke because the server has a limit on how many requests can be made from a single client in a given time period. When this limit is exceeded, the server responds with a 429 error to indicate that the client should slow down.

How to fix

To fix this, you should implement a delay between requests or reduce the frequency of your API calls. Additionally, check the API documentation for specific rate limits and adjust your request strategy accordingly.

Code fix

import time

# Example of adding a delay between requests
for i in range(10):
    make_api_request()
    time.sleep(1)  # Wait for 1 second between requests
