Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it appears you are encountering a rate limit error when using Mixpanel's API. This error occurs when you've exceeded the allowed number of requests within a specific time frame. Mixpanel enforces rate limits on their APIs to ensure system integrity and prevent a single project from monopolizing resources. When you exceed these limits, you receive a 429 response code, which corresponds to the error message you're seeing.Here are the relevant rate limits for different Mixpanel APIs: 1. Ingestion API: 2GB of uncompressed JSON/minute or ~30k events per second, measured on a rolling 1-minute basis. 2. Query API: Maximum of 5 concurrent queries and 60 queries per hour. 3. Raw Data Export API: Maximum of 100 concurrent queries, 60 queries per hour, and 3 queries per second.To resolve this issue, you can try the following approaches: 1. Spread your queries out over a longer period of time. 2. Consolidate multiple queries into a single query where possible. 3. Implement an exponential backoff with jitter strategy when you encounter 429 errors. Mixpanel recommends starting with a 2-second backoff and doubling it until 60 seconds, with 1-5 seconds of jitter.If you're an enterprise customer and require a higher limit for a one-time backfill, you should reach out to your sales representative with your project_id and use case.For more detailed information on rate limits and best practices, you can refer to the Rate Limits documentation.
