HTTP status429 Too Many Requests

What it means

You have exceeded a rate limit.

Example detail messages returned with this error:

  • Token exceeded {limit} {kind}/minute. Retry after {retryAfterSec}s.
  • A data-export was started in the last 24 hours.
  • A Renovate run was triggered in the last hour.

What to do

Back off and retry. Honour Retry-After when present and reduce concurrency; bursty CI is the usual cause.

Branch on type, not on title or detail - those are human-readable and may be reworded.
