  • HTTP 429 errors occurs when too many requests have been sent to a content source in a given amount of time.
  • These errors may occur when requesting data from certain content sources such as Microsoft Cloud Services (Sharepoint, OneDrive, O365, Azure AD), Box, Elasticsearch and others.
  • The errors are retried automatically by Aspire and what Aspire does is waiting a set amount of time before retrying, based on the error response header or if this is not returned, on the configured parameters.
  • This is a mitigation strategy and not a final fix since, in the end, the underlying problem is that the content source is not able to respond to the requests fast enough and as a result, sometimes a new crawl will be necessary to pick up items that failed completely.
  • If HTTP 429 errors are happening too frequently it might be worth it to place a throttling policy for the crawl as described here.
