Receiving 429 responses too often

davet1

I find I am receiving 429 responses all too often. I have limited my code so that it won't make a request more often than every 2 seconds.

I have added log lines to my code for every time it makes a request:

These are the only requests I have made inside this time period:

But the request at 15:28:39,410 received a 429 response:

@davet1,

you cannot submit a request until the other one has completed.

From the Best Practices and Limits document page 9:

When a user reaches his or her limit for the number of extraction requests for a report template type, any
additional extraction request that he or she submits against that template type will fail, with the extraction
notes explaining why it failed. If the user submitted the request via the REST or SOAP API, the over-the limit request will return HTTP status 429 with a description of the problem. Once any request ends, the tally of submitted requests is reduced by one, enabling the user to successfully submit an additional
request.

Is this actually unrelated to HTTP requests? Is this actually that I can't have more than two requests in the queue at the same time?
