HTTP 429 Too Many Requests
Type URI: https://public.api.connect.skoda-auto.cz/problems/rate-limit-exceeded
When it occurs
The quota this API grants per API key and vehicle is used up for the current window. The
RateLimit-Limit, RateLimit-Remaining and RateLimit-Reset
headers describe the quota and are present on every rate-limited response, not only on this one.
This is the limit of this API. The vehicle enforces limits of its own, which are reported as
vehicle-not-accepting-requests -
also with status 429. Use the type member to tell the two apart:
RateLimit-Remaining: 0 does not, because the request that uses up the last of the quota
can be the one the vehicle declines.
Example response
{
"type": "https://public.api.connect.skoda-auto.cz/problems/rate-limit-exceeded",
"title": "Too Many Requests",
"status": 429,
"detail": "Rate limit exceeded. Retry after 1583 seconds.",
"instance": "/api/v1/vehicles/TMBJB9NY5RF999999/charging/start"
}
What to do
Wait at least the number of seconds given in the Retry-After response header, which
is when the current window ends. Reading RateLimit-Remaining as you go and spacing
requests out over the window avoids the rejection altogether; polling a vehicle in a tight loop is
what exhausts the quota fastest.
