Stabilize rate limit error envelope
Medium APIs arena: 429 responses, Retry-After, quotas, and client backoff
Log in and clear the lower tiers to unlock this mission.
Missing prerequisites: apis-easy-rate-limit-envelope
Partners hammer an endpoint because errors do not include actionable retry metadata. You are working inside an API platform team, and the arena only clears when the result is safe, deterministic, and explainable.
Learn to apply 429 responses, Retry-After, quotas, and client backoff in an API platform team while explaining the invariant, safety constraints, and hidden edge cases.
- Demonstrates 429 responses, Retry-After, quotas, and client backoff
- Handles the visible sample and hidden edge cases
- Keeps output deterministic and explainable
- Avoids unsafe dynamic execution
Clear the route first
You can read the mission brief, but the editor, hints, tests, and submit flow stay locked until progression or plan access catches up.
