Throttle on 429 responses
Hi, I'm using a cheerio crawler and things are generally working well. I occasionally get a Cloudflare 429 page, though, and it manifests itself as an error on
waitForSelector because I'm getting the Cloudflare response. Should Crawlee be catching these responses and waiting/slowing without intervention? I've had to catch this issue and then pause the autoscale pool (for 10 sec) manually. Should I be tuning other nobs too/instead? I don't have maxRequestsPerMinute configured yet because I'm not sure how to find/tune this setting.2 replies
