  "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](/documentation/rate-limits) for more details.
