Api rate limit
Hi I have built a driver that connects to the api. I added an off the shelf rate limiter to it. I have checked and can confirm that it is working.
However my process dies with a rate limit exceeded error. It does that before it even reaches the 8th call let alone 8 per second.
It typically dies after around 5 calls (including the authentication calls themselves - one to get a token and one to get company url then three more). I even throttled it back to just three a MINUTE and STILL got that error.
No other app is using this key. I'm using a single key and single token.
I assume your logic can't be simply 8 in a given second or you would need to receive 8 calls before throwing an error.
what's the condition please?
thanks
Peter
