Bolt api

Rate Limit Exceeded - Too Many API Requests

API returns 429 Too Many Requests errors. Your app is making requests too quickly and hitting the rate limit.

Works initially then fails after rapid user actions.

Error Messages You Might See

429 Too Many Requests Rate limit exceeded - retry after 60 seconds Too many requests from this IP API usage quota exceeded
429 Too Many RequestsRate limit exceeded - retry after 60 secondsToo many requests from this IPAPI usage quota exceeded

Common Causes

  1. No throttling or debouncing on requests
  2. Multiple requests sent per keystroke (search, filter)
  3. Batch operations sending too many parallel requests
  4. Client-side retry loop without backoff
  5. Load testing or bot sending many requests

How to Fix It

Debounce requests: useDebounce(searchTerm, 500) for search/filter

Throttle API calls: max 1 request per X ms

Implement exponential backoff for retries: wait 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s...

Queue requests instead of parallel: process one at a time or in batches

Check API docs for rate limit: common is 100-1000 requests/minute

I specialize in debugging Supabase integration issues (auth flows, RLS policies, database connections), fixing broken deployments, resolving routing/blank screen problems, and cleaning up messy React/Vite codebases. I also build production apps with the Claude API and have shipped a Mac desktop dev tool (Nexterm from scratch. Based in Hong Kong, fast turnaround. Yovel Cohen Yovel Cohen I got a lot of experience in building Long-horizon AI Agents in production, Backend apps that scale to millions of users and frontend knowledge as well. BurnHavoc BurnHavoc Been around fixing other peoples code for 20 years. Alvin Voo Alvin Voo I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing. My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream. What I bring to your project: Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins. Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams. Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last. Sage Fulcher Sage Fulcher Hey I'm Sage!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the rate limit?

Check API docs or response headers: X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining

What's debounce vs throttle?

Debounce: waits for pause then fires (search). Throttle: fires max every X ms (scroll)

Should I implement retry logic?

Yes, with exponential backoff. Don't retry immediately - wait 1s then 2s then 4s
