Rest API - Rate Limiting and Throttling

You want to build a client that stops making API calls when the limit is reached and waits until reset. Given these headers:

X-RateLimit-Limit: 100
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1686009000

What should your client do?

AContinue making calls; the limit resets immediately.

BStop calls and wait until the reset timestamp before retrying.

CIgnore the headers and retry after 1 minute.

DReset the remaining count manually and continue.

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Check remaining calls
Remaining is 0, so no calls can be made now.
Step 2: Use reset time to wait
The client should wait until the reset timestamp before making new calls.
Final Answer:
Stop calls and wait until the reset timestamp before retrying. -> Option B
Quick Check:
Remaining=0 means wait until reset [OK]

Quick Trick: Stop calls at zero remaining; wait for reset time [OK]
