BDIA rate limit and backoff policy

Question

Hello,I’m using the Bulk Data Insertion API and i’ve been encountering some 429 errors.I do understand that the rate limit is at 1 request per second, and I am setting up a retry policy after waiting some time before resending.My question is: should I simply wait one second before retrying? Or is there some sort of time-out for a report suite ID that has exceeded the rate limit?Thanks in advance,

Hi ​@gcholletCA,In my experience when an API returns429 status which is “too many requests” it also returns a response header called retry-afterwhich gives you the specific number of seconds to wait before attempting another API call.I’d suggest you inspect the response of your 429 calls and then build the logic to retry after the retry time the response cam back with.Cheers!
