Dear Parampreet, Thank you for the update! Your progress on authentication and data retrieval looks solid. Regarding rate limit handling, your backoff-retry strategy is a good approach. Reading the Retry-After header and using exponential backoff will help avoid unnecessary retries. Additionally, you might consider: - *Caching frequently accessed data* to reduce API calls (e.g., storing user playlists locally and refreshing periodically). - *Pre-fetching data* where possible to minimize real-time API requests. - *Prioritizing essential calls* to ensure critical functionalities remain responsive under rate limits. Let us know if you need further input!
