What this skill does
Hootsuite Rate Limits Overview Handle Hootsuite API rate limits. The API returns 429 Too Many Requests with Retry-After headers when limits are exceeded. Rate Limits Endpoint Limit Window ---------- ------- -------- General API Varies by plan Per minute Message scheduling ~100/hour Per hour Media upload ~50/hour Per hour Token refresh ~10/hour Per hour Instructions Step 1: Respect Retry-After Header Step 2: Queue-Based Scheduling Prerequisites An approved API budget, header baseline, draft-only sandbox profile, and bounded queue. Idempotency keys for mutations plus a reviewed recovery path for exhausted work. Output Return a rate-limit receipt with account scope, requested/limited/deferred counts, retry revision, idempotency state, queue health, draft/public assertion, and rollback reference. Exclude copy, media, handles, and credentials. Error Handling Stop for unknown profile, quota saturation, an attempt to replay a public mutation, or a public-post path during recovery. Defer or cancel work rather than bypassing approval or account scope. Examples scope=sandbox-brand; requested=100; limited=3; deferred=3; retry=v2; idempotent=pass; publicposts=0; rollback=limits-r7 proves bounded handling.
