While using rdpToken.py for Authentication, I am getting error that Failed to get access token 429 - {"error":"429" ,"error_description":"Request rate too high." },

    Hi @ETLBATeam,

    The message means what it states in the status - the request rate at which your application is requesting a new token is too high. An access token is valid for a period of time, and in that period it can be used to make API calls using the same token. No need to request a new token everytime. If you see the rdpToken.py - it saves the token in a file and requests a new token only if the old one is expired.
