MICROSOFT GRAPH post ecel files and create link

Question

I have a python script which loads 500 excel files (1,34Mo) on SharePoint. This script has always worked (1 year) until last week.

I suddenly received "Response 429" and Retry after 120s too many time.

Has workaround, I added more delay between each loading file (5s then10s) But 10s is to long for what I want and finally I reach a log out response [401] before and of process. I also adde retry after 120s but is too long for 500 files.

So now I need to find a way to avoid that Reponse 429 without wait to long time between each file The Sharepoint connection is done with delegated permission with user permission to take the token and after that I send post request file load on sharpoint folder.

The general process is a loop (250 iteration) : - posts 2 files on sharepoint - creates link to pickup shareable link I have the Microsoft 365 Business Standard licence.

Do you have any advise ? (related code bellow)

Hello @Zehui Yao_MSFT ,

This is what i did. But the delay is up to 120s (quiet long).

So when I reach this 2 or 3 timesafter it's seems that I hit a session disconnection because I have a 502 reponse.

I manage it as I can but my "real" question was why suddenly it happen ? I use it seens 1 year wihtout any 429 response.

But thanks four your time.

Hello @FRUITSTOCK SARL , According to the documentation, backing off requests using the Retry-After delay is the fastest way to recover from throttling.
