This error message suggests that you've encountered a rate limit issue with Mixpanel's API. Mixpanel implements rate limits to ensure system integrity and prevent a single project from monopolizing resources. Let's look at the specific rate limits and how to handle them: 1. Ingestion API: - Limit: 2GB of uncompressed JSON/minute or ~30k events per second, measured on a rolling 1-minute basis. Rate Limits2. Query API: - Limit: Maximum of 5 concurrent queries and 60 queries per hour. Rate Limits3. Raw Data Export API: - Limit: Maximum of 100 concurrent queries, 60 queries per hour, and 3 queries per second. Rate LimitsWhen you exceed these limits, you'll receive a 429 (Too Many Requests) status code.To handle rate limiting, Mixpanel recommends the following strategies: 1. Implement exponential backoff with jitter: - Start with a 2-second backoff - Double the backoff time until reaching 60 seconds - Add 1-5 seconds of jitter2. For the Ingestion API: - Use 10-20 concurrent clients sending 2K events per batch - Use gzip compression to reduce network egress and transfer time3. General recommendations: - Spread your queries over a longer period - Consolidate multiple queries into a single query where possibleIngestion APIIf you're an Enterprise customer and need a higher limit for a one-time backfill, contact your sales representative with your project_id and use case.Remember, don't retry validation errors (400 status code) as they will consistently fail and count toward the rate limit.
