Spike arrest policy
Spike arrest is the way we protect against traffic spikes. Our APIs and backend can handle a certain amount of traffic, and the Spike Arrest policy smooths the traffic to the general amounts.
When you exceed the policy, the API will return response code ‘429 - Too many requests’ and you have to wait for the next time window.
