@quartata If you're talking about the SE API, then other requests which were fired prior to receiving
backoff
may: A) also get a
backoff
; or B) be rejected with an error. You either need to handle both the cases, or fire off requests sequentially, which will result in significantly lower performance. Note that the hard restriction is 30 requests/s. If you do more than that, then you will be blocked. Also note that backoff is per method (endpoint).
