rate_limited

HTTP 429 — Rate limited

When you see it

A rate bucket is exhausted.

What to do

Wait Retry-After seconds. Watch RateLimit-Remaining on every response and slow down before you are cut off — the limits are documented at /rate-limits.

The response

Every error is RFC 9457 problem+json:

{
  "type": "https://devs.inittasks.com/errors/rate_limited",
  "title": "Rate limited",
  "status": 429,
  "detail": "a sentence for a developer; never branch on it",
  "instance": "/todos/8E4F2A1B",
  "request_id": "3f9a1c7e-2b44-4d1e-9c30-5a7e8b2d1f60",
  "retry_after": 42
}

Branch on type, never on detail or on the HTTP status alone — several codes share a status.
