A transit-agency integration catches HTTP 429 from the Meraki Dashboard API and immediately reissues the identical request in a tight loop. Why is that control flow wrong?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Slamming the counter bell the instant you are told to wait turns a soft ceiling into a self-inflicted outage. Back off on 429; do not spin.
Full Explanation
Catching 429 and instantly reissuing the same call is the anti-pattern for rate-limit handling. Robust consumers delay (often using Retry-After or backoff). 429 is not a permanent delete signal, and inventing SOAP or ignoring 4xx wholesale misses the control-flow lesson.
