The default call limits for approved accounts is 5 queries per second/50,000 queries per day. If you surpass these limits, you will receive a 429 error code with an error response stating quota limit exceeded.

looks like technically the limit is different, since i am getting 429 having less than 5 queries per second and not reaching 50, 000 quota a day, short log just before getting 429: `2017-02-11 11:52:14.131968384 +0000 UTC API call on product SKU 6900472 2017-02-11 11:52:14.761974285 +0000 UTC API call on product SKU 6900667 2017-02-11 11:52:15.391995526 +0000 UTC API call on product SKU 6900385 2017-02-11 11:52:16.041078842 +0000 UTC API call on product SKU 6900588 2017-02-11 11:52:16.6825007 +0000 UTC API call on product SKU 6900658` – Max Feb 11 '17 at 11:54
please advice on this matter – Max Feb 15 '17 at 15:11
Can you send an email to developer@bestbuy.com with the query you are using against the api, from the email account you used to register your key? That will give me a lot more information to work with. Thanks. – Steve Beal Feb 16 '17 at 16:01
