The 429 error response to reaching our API’s burst rate limit now includes a Retry-After header to indicate how long to wait (in seconds) before retrying a request. This additional header enables the configuration of automatic retries and exponential backoffs in DigitalOcean clients such as doctl, Terraform, and Godo. Learn more about our API burst limit structure in our API Documentation.
