What is this error?

A 429 'Rate Limit Exceeded' error from H2O.ai means you've sent too many requests in a given time period. This is a protective measure to ensure fair usage across all users. It can be triggered by your individual usage or by H2O.ai-wide capacity constraints.

Common Causes

  • Exceeded your plan's requests-per-minute (RPM) or tokens-per-minute (TPM) limit
  • Organization or project-level quota exhausted for the billing period
  • Too many concurrent/parallel requests from the same API key
  • H2O.ai is throttling all users due to high global demand
  • Free tier limits reached — upgrade required for higher throughput

✓ How to Fix It

  1. Check your usage dashboard on H2O.ai's platform to see current consumption
  2. Implement exponential backoff: wait 1s after first 429, then 2s, 4s, 8s
  3. Reduce concurrency — send fewer parallel requests
  4. Use batching or queuing to spread requests over time
  5. Consider upgrading your plan for higher rate limits
  6. If available, use H2O.ai's batch/async API for non-urgent requests
