# `RATE_LIMITED` Rate limit exceeded

Source: https://checkslip.com/en/problems/rate-limited

- **HTTP status**: `429`
- **Credit**: No credit taken

## Meaning

Too many requests for the limit that applies (per API key, or per sign-in/OTP attempt). The request was not processed and no credit was used. `Retry-After` gives the seconds until the quota is back.

## Fix

Wait for `Retry-After` before retrying. API: read `RateLimit-Policy` / `RateLimit` and spread requests, or contact the team for a higher limit.
