Hi,

How can I test/read a 429 http response.

Is it triggerd on uploads as well as downloads?

I'm using the java SDK.

Regards,

Marcel

Hi, 

429 is our rate limit response code. You will get them if you exceed the limits described here

Thanks,

Hello Alex,

Thank you for the quick response.

I've triggered the 429 with a JMeter script with 2000 request, so it works with the java SDK.
