Overview
Rate limits protect personal-data workflows from accidental loops, abusive traffic, partner throttling, and duplicate consent prompts. Design clients to slow down instead of retrying aggressively.
What to do
Step 1: Read 429 responses as a signal to back off.
Step 2: Use exponential retry with jitter for safe idempotent calls.
Step 3: Do not retry consent prompts in a loop.
Step 4: Ask support for higher limits only after usage is stable.
