Fill in: 'A client that ignores 429 responses can ___ its own requests into a permanent block.'
We say ignoring limits will 'drive' requests into a block — the standard collocation for worsening a throttled state. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
2 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ exponential backoff with jitter so retrying clients don't all collide again.'
We 'implement' backoff — the standard engineering collocation. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
3 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the retry-after value from the response instead of guessing a delay.'
We 'respect' a retry-after value — the standard collocation for honouring server guidance. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ a maximum retry count so a client doesn't hammer an endpoint forever.'
We 'cap' a retry count — the standard collocation for setting an upper bound. The other options are less idiomatic here.
5 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ throttled requests separately so they don't skew our real error rate metrics.'
We 'classify' requests — the standard collocation for categorising them distinctly. The other options are less idiomatic here.
