Getting 429 error(Too Many Request)

[Chetan_123]

I’m a developer using your paid service and have subscribed for my app development. However, I’m consistently facing an issue with the following error:

Request failed with status code 429. Rate limit exceeded. Retry after 762 seconds.

I’m encountering this error specifically with these three endpoints:

• https://api.spotify.com/v1/albums/${albumId}/tracks
• https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/${artistId}/albums
• https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/${artistId}

Despite not sending multiple requests simultaneously, the error persists. All other endpoints are functioning correctly. My client is becoming frustrated—could you please resolve this issue as soon as possible?

I'm encountering something similar for the /artists/{id}/albums endpoint. When I encounter a 429 response in general, my app will wait for the stated amount of time in the "Retry-After" header before making another request, and this typically works 99% of the time. However, sometimes when accessing the specific endpoint, I will suddenly get a 429 response with an extremely high "Retry-After" value (like 49000, or around 13.6 hours) despite the past few requests to other endpoints being successful with no 429 responses.

I understand if my app is continuing to make rapid requests and disregarding the rate limit then the "Retry-After" value would keep climbing, but this isn't the case for me. I am respecting the rate limit and "Retry-After" values, but it suddenly gives me a 429 response with a very high wait time seemingly out of nowhere, and only for the specific endpoint. When I refresh the app, other requests go through or have a normal "Retry-After" value, but on the first request to the specific endpoint it returns a 429 with a very high wait time.

A response from a Spotify staff or support member would be greatly appreciated.
