Approval flow statusCode 429 rate limit is exceeded

[980Panama]

I have run an approval flow this afternoon and received an error on 4 of the approvals with the message

429. The request failed. Response content: 'statusCode:429,message Rate limit is exceeded. Try again in 5 seconds.

Can you please let me know what this message means and how I can correct the approvals involved or re-run them.

Hi @980Panama,

How many times has your flow been triggered during one minute?

Error code 429 means that your quota of times you can ping a service in the interval that is predetermined.

I assume that you’ve got a number of approval requests within a given time that exceed the rate limit.

Please just try to reduce the amount of the requests sent in a given time to fix your issue.

Besides, I have seen a blog on the similar issue, please check it for a reference:
