The 'too many requests' error in Gladia STT can occur due to several reasons, even on the first speech:
• Rate Limiting: The API may enforce request limits, and these limits might have been reached if the same API key is used elsewhere.
• API Key Usage: Ensure your API key isn't being used excessively in other applications.
• Service Constraints: Temporary backend issues or misconfigurations can also trigger this error.
Steps to Resolve:
1. Check your API key usage to ensure it isn't being overused.
2. Review the rate limits set by Gladia and confirm your usage is within the allowed limits.
3. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient errors.
4. Monitor your API usage regularly to avoid exceeding limits.
If you need further assistance or specific guidance on implementing these steps, let me know!
