I have created a CRON job to fetch data from NowCerts and create records in HubSpot. The CRON job is working correctly, but I am frequently receiving 429 errors. I have verified that my monthly API rate limit has not been exceeded. We have set 80 requests per 10 seconds and approximate 7 requests per second. Still we are receiving 429 status error. On 4th january, I have received 18 errors of 429 status. Help me to resolve this issue. ---

Hi @VChadha For NodeJS applications, you can utilize the bottleneck package to effectively handle 429 errors. You can find more information about the bottleneck package at **[bottleneck - npm.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bottleneck)** I hope this will help you out. Please mark it as **Solution Accepted and upvote** to help another Community member. Thanks! ---

Hi @VChadha, To build on what @GRajput has already shared (thank you), here are some helpful tips for resolving those 429 errors: For private apps, Free/Starter accounts allow up to 100 requests per 10 seconds, while Professional/Enterprise accounts allow 190. Although 80 requests per 10 seconds is within the limit, it’s possible that concurrent requests are causing occasional spikes. Here are a few Recommendations: - Try implementing exponential backoff and retry logic for rate limits or temporary errors. - Use batch APIs where possible to help reduce the total number of calls. - Cache data when you find yourself making the same requests repeatedly. - Instead of polling, consider using webhooks to receive data proactively. Don’t forget to monitor the X-HubSpot-RateLimit-Remaining and X-HubSpot-RateLimit-Interval-Milliseconds headers in your API responses, they’re great for keeping an eye on your usage. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any more questions or need further assistance. Have a lovely day! Bérangère ---

Agree with the top posters - bottleneckjs is the best way to do this on a typescript/node stack. FYI, if you’re using the HubSpot node client - I’ve found that the Search API Rate limit isn’t being respected by the default client. So if you’re using the Search API (Which is a lot lower, 5 RPS i believe) then you will need to rate limit those requests yourself.
