My Question or Issue
I'm currently contributing to an open-source Spotify widget (https://github.com/dvx/lofi/) where the API is polled every second. We use the response to set the track progress, playback status, volume level, cover art, track info, etc.
Since somewhere around noon EDT the app is returning a lot more 429 than I previously experienced (see attached image). I first noticed when the error occurred every 30 seconds and the api returned a retry-after of >10 seconds. Now it seems the error occurs every minute with a retry-after of 1 second. Our code always adds one second to the retry after to ensure that we're not abusing the API.
Is 1 request/second an extreme scenario? The API seemed to be ok with that up til now.
