Problem type https://help.orderhi.com/partner-api/problems/rate-limited
HTTP status 429

Meaning

The rate limit of your API key was exceeded (60 requests per minute during the beta). The response contains a Retry-After header with the wait time in seconds.

Typical causes

  • Polling orders too often.
  • A loop or retry mechanism without delay.

How to fix it

  • Wait for the time given in Retry-After.
  • Use webhooks instead of regular polling.
  • Use exponential backoff when retrying.

Example response
