Hi, I am receiving a 429 HTTP error code (TooManyRequests) using DO API, it was strange to me, I don’t use the API up to the point of draining 5000 requests in one hour, but it does not matter, I regenerated an Api Key and ran: curl https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/account -H ‘Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>’ -D -
On my local PC, It shows the counter has reset as this is a new Token:
ratelimit-limit: 5000
ratelimit-remaining: 4999
Now on my server, it still returns 429, the response comes from Cloudflare…
Is not this a flaw? If you handle rate limit by yourself why are you letting Cloudflare put their flawed anti-abuse system on top of you? They have caused a DoS on my application now… Your system is not behaving as documented thanks to Cloudflare.
Please give some elaboration on this, and if possible fix this, at this time Cloudflare is taken over your Rate Limit feature and imposing his own which is arbitrary and not following your documentation.
