ibmcloud rate limit support - feature request

[jmgalvez]

Hi there,

We have a bash script to run the 'ibmcloud' command several times in order to set up our IBM Cloud stuff.

Sometimes we are getting an error from the API server (status code 429) related to the rate limits.

FAILED
Error response from server. Status code: 429; description: The request frequency from this IP exceeded the allowable rate of 30 per 60000 ms with a minimum separation of 0 ms. Please check the 'X-RateLimit-Limit', and 'X-RateLimit-Reset' header values returned by the server..

Is it planned to add support for this in the upcoming releases of the ibmcloud cli? In this way, the ibmcloud manage the 429 status code, wait a while and re-attempt again X times.

It would be very interesting to have this support natively in the command line.

thanks for this feature request. Will move this to dev backlog and let you know once it is planned.

@jmgalvez would you mind if you could tell us the URL path in which you met this error? Thanks.

@archerzz We always obtain this 429 when calling CF related commands, not detected yet with IAM related commands. Mainly, when we try 'ibmcloud account org-role-set' and 'ibmcloud account space-role-set' commands. Likely with the 'unset' equivalent commands as well.

For example, yesterday, first we got a 429 and when we tried again we got a 500.
