soundcloud api - too many requests

Question

My soundcloud app (that makes quite a lot of requests) recently started receiving the error:

429 - Too Many Requests

for all DELETE commands (when I attempt to delete a follow relationship). This was working perfectly last week. Do throttling limits exist for soundcloud api requests? I looked through the developer's guide but haven't found anything yet. The support page said to post a question here.

Answer 1

A 429 Status indicates that your application is making too many requests to the /me/followings endpoint. This isn't throttling per say, but an attempt to circumvent follow-spam applications.

How many requests are you making and with what frequency? If you back off for a while, are you able to get a successful response?
