  "title": "Too Many Requests",
  "status": 429,
  "detail": "Rate limit of 100 requests per minute exceeded. Please retry after 60 seconds.",

How to Handle

1. Check the Retry-After header (in seconds)
2. Wait for the specified duration
3. Retry your request

Prevention

• Monitor RateLimit-Remaining header values
• Implement exponential backoff
• Cache responses when possible
• Use bulk endpoints instead of individual requests

See Rate Limits guide for more details.
