How do I handle throttling errors in my application?

Throttling errors occur when you exceed the rate limits set by an API. You can handle them by implementing exponential backoff.

What is exponential backoff?

Exponential backoff is a strategy where you wait longer between retries after each failure, reducing the load on the server.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it?

Sure! You can start with a short wait time, like 1 second, and double it after each failed attempt until a maximum limit.

What if the error persists even after multiple attempts?

If the error persists, you should log the issue and consider notifying the user or switching to a fallback method.
