Policies

Throttle Response
When requests exceed these limits the API Gateway returns a 429 Too Many Requests error response. Upon receiving such exceptions, you can resubmit failed requests in a rate-limited manner, complying with the API Gateway throttle limits. (verbatim from the 429 response)
Gateway Timeout
504 Gateway Timeout — the server is acting as a gateway and cannot get a response in time for a request. Wait about one minute then try again. (verbatim from the 504 response)
