A 429 means the service is asking you to slow down. It is not fixed by increasing retries. A sync that retrieves every order, product, and customer every minute will exhaust a quota and can affect site operations, particularly when several scenarios run at once.
Use one work queue per store, a clear request limit, stepped retry, and provider response headers where available. Do not retry every failed row immediately. Store the next attempt time and original event ID so that an order is not duplicated when the connection returns.
Instead of broad polling, prefer available events or an incremental retrieval of records changed since the last sync point. A small operations view should show queued events, rejected events, and the age of the oldest event. That turns a mysterious 429 into capacity the team can manage.
