RATE_LIMIT error... forever?

[Marcos Gil Fuertes]

I'm getting a RATE_LIMIT error when calling TargetingIdeaService + a param retryAfterSeconds=30.

Ok, I wait (at least) 30 seconds, retry the same call without doing anything else... and get the same error again and again. :(

Any help, please?

Hello Marcos,

In such case can you try using exponential back off policy mentioned here? Please try to increase the amount of time you are waiting after every failure until the request is successful. Please give it a try and let me know if you have any further questions.

OK, will try it.

So... it's not my account limit, I guess... right?
