When you see the “rate limit exceeded” error message on Coinbase, it means that you have attempted to make too many requests in a short period of time. To avoid this error, you will need to slow down the rate at which you are making requests.
This error is most commonly seen when users are trying to make too many API calls in a short period of time. The Coinbase API has a rate limit of 10 requests per second.
If you make more than 10 requests in a single second, you will start to see the “rate limit exceeded” error message.
To fix this, you will need to spread out your requests over a longer period of time. One way to do this is to add a delay between each request.
For example, if you are making 100 requests, you could add a delay of 10 seconds between each request. This would ensure that you never make more than 10 requests in a single second and would avoid the “rate limit exceeded” error message.
The “rate limit exceeded” error message can also be seen if you are making too many requests in a day. The Coinbase API has a daily limit of 5,000 requests per day.
If you make more than 5,000 requests in a 24 hour period, you will start to see the “rate limit exceeded” error message. One way to do this is to make fewer requests each day.
For example, if you are making 100 requests per day, you could spread those out over 10 days so that you are only making 10 requests per day. This would ensure that you never make more than 5,000 requests in a single day and would avoid the “rate limit exceeded” error message.
The “rate limit exceeded” error message can be frustrating, but it is easy to fix once you know what it means and how to avoid it. Simply slow down the rate at which you are making API calls and ensure that you are not making too many calls in a single day, and you should be able to avoid this error entirely.
