How to Keep an API Integration Working When a Provider Changes Rate Limits

A stricter rate limit can cause request bursts to fail or queued work to fall behind.

Checks to make

Inspect response codes and rate-limit headers, inventory request volume, and prioritize critical operations. Add bounded backoff with jitter, queue nonurgent work, and alert on sustained backlog. Coordinate expected limits with the provider.
