Question

A plug-in registered on the Update message of the Account table makes several outbound calls to an external REST service through the Organization service and Web API. During high-volume data imports, you begin receiving errors indicating the Dataverse service protection API limits have been exceeded (HTTP 429). The response includes a Retry-After value. What is the recommended way to handle this condition in your code?

Accepted Answer

Read the Retry-After header/property from the fault and wait that duration before retrying the request.

Answer

Catch the exception and immediately retry the operation in a tight loop until it succeeds.

Answer

Increase the plug-in execution timeout so the platform automatically resubmits throttled requests.

Answer

Register the plug-in to run asynchronously so service protection limits no longer apply.
