TL;DR

The issue is likely due to rate limiting errors, and implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff may help mitigate the problem.

Guidance

• The error messages indicate that the requests are being rate limited, suggesting that the application is making too many requests within a short period.
• To verify this, check the request frequency and adjust it according to the rate limit specified by the API.
• Consider implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle rate limit errors and other temporary failures.
• Review the code to ensure that it is not making unnecessary requests and optimize it to reduce the request frequency.

Example

// Example of a retry function with exponential backoff
function retryRequest(requestFunc, maxRetries = 3, initialDelay = 1000) {
  let retries = 0;
  let delay = initialDelay;
  while (retries < maxRetries) {
    try {
      return await requestFunc();
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.type === 'rate_limit_error') {
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        delay *= 2;
        retries++;
      } else {
        throw error;
      }
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}

Notes

The provided example is a basic illustration of a retry mechanism and may need to be adapted to the specific use case. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the retry mechanism does not exacerbate the rate limiting issue.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle rate limit errors and other temporary failures. This approach can help mitigate the issue without requiring significant changes to the application.
