"textContent": "Thanks for reporting this, @bobodawang.\n\nA 429 \"Too Many Requests\" error usually means you've hit a rate limit, either by sending too many requests in a short period or exceeding your current usage limits. (OpenAI Help Center)\n\nA few things worth trying:\n\n * Wait a short time and try again, since rate limits reset automatically.\n * If you're using the API or Codex programmatically, add exponential backoff so retries are spaced out instead of happening immediately. Repeated retries can actually extend the problem. (OpenAI Help Center)\n * Check your current rate limits and usage tier in your account settings. If you're consistently hitting the limit, you may need a higher usage tier. (OpenAI Help Center)\n\n\n\nIf you're seeing this in the ChatGPT Codex experience rather than the API, let us know a bit more about where the error appears (web, desktop, CLI, etc.) and someone here can help narrow it down.\n\n-Mark G.",
