well, I do back off for a bit once I hit rate limits or the request times out. but regardless, I lost an API call credit.


You don't lose a credit when you get rate limited.


yeah, but i don't even go to rate limit (i check before every call). i stop 2 or 3 calls shy of it, so that doesn't limit me. but if I send an API request and that request times out and does not return data, then it still cost me a precious call (and one closer to rate limit).
