Hi Shai. I reached out to RapidAPI, and they said it might be a temporary issue on their side. The error should be gone now.

Thank you very much Hao.

Please keep my updated if there is anything new at shaio@codefuel.com

Hi Shai,

Thank you for your example request. I tried to reproduce based on your description, and I was able to hit the 429 error as well. Upon debugging, it appears that the 429 error is coming from RapidAPI proxy. It seems like RapidAPI tends to be stricter than the rate limit that the developer has specified. I try raising the rate limit for the premium plan to 300/minutes as well as removing it, yet I can still hit the 429 error.

I will reach out to RapidAPI to see what they say. In the mean time, I would recommend catching the 429 error, and retry after a few minutes.

Best,
Hao

Hi Shai,

Do you have a sample response (including the response headers) when the 429 error occurred? I checked RapidAPI analytics dashboard and could not find any 429 error there. Having some extra information like a sample request+response and the approximate time when it occurred would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Hao
