Eval, Testing & Debugging
A production integration starts receiving 429 responses during a traffic spike. What's the appropriate handling?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: B — Recognize it as rate limiting and back off, throttling request volume
Error-type identification is step one of the debugging method. 400 is your malformed request, 429 is rate limiting, 529 is the API overloaded — 429 calls for backoff and throttling, not a schema audit or an immediate full-speed retry.
