Summary

The project was using an outdated synchronous RestTemplate client instead of the newer Spring WebClient, which is built on top of Reactor API. The error log showed a 429 Too Many Requests error with a 1-minute rate limit. After converting to the new WebClient, it's possible to extract the Retry-After header from the response and implement retry strategies using Reactor's Retries mechanism.
