Status 429 - Too Many Requests

This status code is returned when the client has made too many requests in a given timeframe, exceeding the rate limits set by the server. It indicates that the client needs to slow down and retry after a specified cooldown period. Rate limits are typically enforced to protect the server from being overwhelmed and to ensure fair use of resources.

Status 500 - Internal Server Error

This status code indicates that the server encountered an unexpected error or condition that prevented it from completing the request. It is a generic error message when no more specific message is suitable. The client cannot resolve the issue.

Status 503 - Service Unavailable

This status code indicates that the server is currently unavailable, typically due to ongoing maintenance or temporary overloading. The server is unable to handle the request at the moment, but the issue is expected to be resolved shortly. This status code signals that the downtime is temporary, and the service will be restored once maintenance is complete.
