Instead, remote servers making GET or POST requests to the ActivityPub API endpoints should respect 429 and 503 http codes, and take account of the `retry-after` http response header. + +For more details on request throttling and rate limiting behavior, please see the [throttling](../../api/throttling.md) and [rate limiting](../../api/ratelimiting.md) documents. |
