What is the meaning of status code 429?

[datarecovee]

Status code 429 is also officially called Too Many Requests, which is an HTTP status code applicable to clients. It simply means that the client program or user has surpassed the rate limit that has been set by the server on the number of requests to be sent within a given period of time. This 429 error code response is a protection mechanism employed by the server, API, or the plugin to tell the client to discontinue making requests because they are not in a position to process more at that time.
