Getting sudden 429 errors on my project

[greedymau5]

My app which uses the '/me' and '/me/tracks' endpoints has suddenly started giving me 429 rate limit errors. My app was working fine until a few hours ago.

Did I get rate limited?

Yeah, unless something has gone very buggy with the API, you've been rate-limited. If you check the response's headers, there should be a "Retry-After" header, which will give a value in seconds for how long you should wait before trying again.

If you continue to send requests before this header suggests, Spotify is likely to "punish" you by extending the "Retry-After" time with subsequent calls. I'd just look at the header and see how long it says, I've never seen it go beyond 24hrs.
