VEHICLE

Your application’s requests have exceeded this vehicle’s rate limit.

You have reached the throttling rate limit for this vehicle. Please see the retry-after header (seconds) for when to retry the request.

This limit is in place to prevent excessive vehicle requests that could:

    • Lead to 12v battery drain.
    • Trigger UPSTREAM:RATE_LIMIT errors that prevent you from making requests for a longer period of time.
