503 Slow Down Response
Hello,
Since a couple of days I’m receiving 503 Slow Down Response when dealing with your Spaces. I’m using Spaces as a Backup Service to daily backup my production applications. Only one applications out of 14 is causing this problems.
Error executing "ListObjects" on "https://****.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/?prefix=medicalinformatics.ch%2F&encoding-type=url"; AWS HTTP error: Server error: `GET https://***.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com/?prefix=****.ch%2F&encoding-type=url` resulted in a `503 Slow Down` response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error> <Code>SlowDown</Code> <Message>Please reduce your request rate.</Message> (truncated...) SlowDown (server): Please reduce your request rate. - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error> <Code>SlowDown</Code> <Message>Please reduce your request rate.</Message> <RequestId></RequestId> </Error>
There is no way I hitting any max. Limit of Requests. I track it and receive it all the time.
Any idea?
Best regards
Sebastian

I’m using SGP region, facing same issue
I’m currently facing the same issue. Doing about 20 requests a second.
SGP Region, regularly facing this error simply trying to read contents of a folder…
I get these errors pretty consistently. I have an automated backup script that runs every evening. It doesn’t make that many API requests. It will run fine for a day or two (always doing the exact same thing, making the exact same requests). However, every couple days I’ll get a SlowDown response. I implemented exponential backoff (get a SlowDown, wait 100ms, try again, get SlowDown, wait 200 ms, try again, 400ms, 800ms, etc.). I get less SlowDown responses, but still every few days I’ll see that I’ve retried a bunch of times, waited up to 4 seconds, and still get SlowDown.
