Receiving upload failed today for a workout data upload to strava app I'm developing, but the maximum requests I have made were 15 in 15 minutes, and 63 in a 24 hour period. But yet every time I try to upload an entry I’m getting the 429 status and upload fails. Why is this?
Question
Getting 429 Status code, but I'm no where near the limit

+26What does the error message you get state about your limits?
+1Thanks Jan. It says I made too many updates (or something to that effect in the message). It may be because I was passing too many empty files while testing my app. The error is no longer showing now thankfully.
+2Usually during development I got status 429 when I had a loop in my code that was constantly refetching data. When you get blocked with status 429, the blocked requests don't count to your api applications budget. So it's a differentmecganism than the daily budget. It's still possible to drain your budget with constant requests as long as they are not fast enough. If they get near constant for long enough, you get status 429 instead.
+1This makes a lot of sense. I probably had a loop in my code that once deleted no longer triggered the failure.
