Webhook 429 Too Many Requests: fix provider throttling

Webhook providers enforce per-endpoint and per-account rate limits. Bursts of 2xx failures, slow responses, or replay storms can push you into 429 even when traffic looks normal. Treat 429 as a flow-control signal: back off, respect Retry-After, and reduce concurrency.

Common causes

  • Burst deliveries after deploy or queue drain.
  • Same endpoint shared by many subscriptions.
  • Ignoring provider concurrency guidance.

How to fix

  • Use 429 Detector and Rate Limit Tester to reproduce limits.
  • Implement exponential backoff with jitter.
  • Shard workloads or stagger subscriptions.
