Troubleshooting API Authentication and Managing Rate Limits Efficiently

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working with the SuperAGI APIs lately, and while the functionality is powerful, I’ve encountered some challenges around authentication and rate limits that I’d love to discuss and get insights on.

Authentication Issues:
Sometimes, my API requests return errors related to invalid tokens or expired credentials. I’m curious about best practices for securely handling and refreshing API tokens within an automated system. How do you all manage token lifecycle to avoid interruptions in your workflows?

Rate Limits:
The other hurdle is handling rate limits gracefully. When my app makes many requests in a short time, I occasionally hit limits that cause request failures. What strategies do you recommend for throttling requests or implementing retries without slowing down the user experience too much? Has anyone built intelligent backoff algorithms or caching layers to minimize redundant calls?

On a lighter note, this reminds me a bit of playing Geometry Dash Lite—when you’re rushing through levels, you have to time your jumps perfectly or you’ll hit a wall. Similarly, with APIs, if you don’t time your requests and token refreshes right, your system can “crash” or fail unexpectedly!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and tips on smoothing out these common pain points.
