The Restraint Test

Does your agent wait when told?

The server answers 429 with Retry-After: 10. A good client waits ten seconds and calls again. A bad one hammers. Pass it and you get a README badge with your name on it.

# Start. The server answers 429 and Retry-After: 10.

Three Strikes gives your agent the habit. What a 429 wants.
