I solved my earlier 429 problem. Now I’m currently trying to enforce a WaitTimeFromHeaderBackoffStrategy to help deal with some additional issues. We are using the python CDK and I’m just not sure how to implement a backoff strategy using this pattern. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm glad you solved your earlier 429 problem. However, the information extracts provided do not contain specific details on implementing the
WaitTimeFromHeaderBackoffStrategy
using the Python CDK. For general guidance on rate limiting and backoff strategies in the Python CDK, you can refer to the [HTTP-API-based Connectors section](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/cdk-python/http-streams#Rate-Limiting). The CDK, by default, will conduct exponential backoff on the HTTP code 429 and any 5XX exceptions, and fail after 5 tries. You can override the
should_retry
and
backoff_time
methods to customize the retry behavior. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information to provide a confident answer on implementing the
WaitTimeFromHeaderBackoffStrategy
specifically. You may find more information in the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/) or seek help from the [Airbyte community](https://discuss.airbyte.io) and [Slack](https://airbytehq.slack.com).
