How to fixed error 429 in SharePoint PowerShell

Question

I'm trying retrieve OneDrive site using like this and it's working fine but sometime I get " The remote server returned an error: (429)."

I do believe I'm getting that error because I request too many time in my script and getting throttled. I would be really appreciated if I can get any suggestion or help on how to handle that error.

   $allSites = Get-SPOSite -IncludePersonalSite $true -Limit All | Where-Object { $_.URL -like "*$ID*" }

Hi @Aase Nomad

When the user sends too many requests within a given time or get throttled in SharePoint Online, maybe cause this error:

It is recommended that you can change the filter condition to reduce the sites to retieve in one query. You can divide one query to servral query to excute and add “pause” between requests also helps to reduce throttled

Here is the reference document link:Avoid getting throttled or blocked in SharePoint Online | Microsoft Docs
