# Exceeding Rate Limits

Exceeding the rate limit will result in an HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) response and include the `Retry-After` HTTP header:

```shell
# Pause requests for the number of seconds specified
Retry-After: 32
```

Continuing to make requests while you are rate limited may result in your user being banned.
