How can I troubleshoot API rate limits?

I'm getting a rate limit error when trying to access the API. What should I do?

Rate limit errors usually mean you've exceeded the allowed number of requests. Check the API documentation for limits.

How can I check my current usage against the rate limits?

Many APIs provide a usage endpoint that shows your current request count. Look for something like '/usage' in the docs.

Is there a way to increase my rate limit?

You can often request a higher limit from the API provider, especially if you have a valid use case.

What are some best practices to avoid hitting rate limits?

Implement exponential backoff, cache responses, and optimize your request frequency to stay within limits.
