Honour Retry-After
Both 429 variants publish Retry-After; use it rather than a fixed sleep. Documented example values are 119s (global) and 60s (import).
Backoff strategy
MailerLite explicitly recommends "batch endpoint and/or implement backoff strategy that would even out the requests over time".
Version pinning
Pin the API version with the X-Version header for predictable behavior.
