Hi,
A query please. I have been trying to download metadata and frequently get HTTP error 429 'Too Many requests'.

My reading implies that when the 429 is supplied sometimes it gives a 'retry-after' response which indicates when service can resume (I don't know if it's Amazon or Google but they definately limit requests in an automated fashion).

Is there any possibility, that an interval could be configured whenever a 429 is the response to allow for retries that applies to all plugins (on each request) or is this a can of worms ?

Thanks in advance
