Error codeView as Markdown

Too many requests. Too many requests from this token in a short time. Agents get generous read limits and modest write limits.

  • HTTP status: 429 Too Many Requests
  • CLI exit code: 10 (temporary, safe to retry)
  • Retry: safe to retry with the same Idempotency-Key

Wait {retry_after_seconds} seconds, then retry.

  1. Wait for the number of seconds in the Retry-After header, then retry.
  2. Check the RateLimit-Remaining header to pace yourself.

Words in {braces} are filled in from the error response, which names the exact resource.
