Guarantee your app doesn't crash when APIs get busy. Manually trigger 429 errors and verify your retry and backoff strategies.
Triggering a real rate limit from a provider like Stripe or AWS is difficult and can sometimes get your developer account suspended.
DevConsole allows you to 'intercept and mock' any request to return a 429 status code with any specific headers like 'Retry-After'.
Tell DevConsole to catch requests to a specific endpoint (e.g., /api/search).
Configure the mock to return status 429 with a 'Too Many Requests' body.
Ensure your UI shows a helpful message and that your code attempts to retry correctly.
Yes! Mock a sequence of failures to ensure your app waits progressively longer between retries.
No. DevConsole intercepts the network call at the browser level, so your app thinks the server actually failed.
