• When a Webex API rate limit is exceeded the gateway returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header giving the number of seconds to wait. in context
• Contact Center APIs probably use the same 429 and Retry-After throttling as other Webex APIs, so the same backoff handling applies. inferred in context
• Cisco recommends waiting the full Retry-After time as soon as the first 429 arrives. in context
