Access error Rate Exceeded or 429 message when connecting to a CodeCommit repository

Question

I'm trying to communicate with the aws codecommit repository and I end up with the following error:

Access error: “Rate Exceeded” or “429” message when connecting to a CodeCommit repository

Answer 1

All calls to CodeCommit are subjected to a maximum number of requests. You cannot exceed the maximum allowed request rate. If you do you'll end up with this error. 

To avoid having such a scenario, take steps to reduce the number of connections or calls to CodeCommit or to spread out requests. Few approaches would be - 

• implementing jitter in requests
• use event-based architecture instead of polling
