Hello,
I used 3-legged OAuth flow to realize Twitter login for my app.
Everything goes well except when too many users attempt to login in my app with Twitter.
I got error code 429 which means too many request, and found that the 429 error occurred when requesting the following two endpoints over 1000 times in certain time.
oauth/request_token, oauth/authorize
So as mentioned above, it works well usually, but if there’re many users attempting to login in a short time, they will encounter authorization failures.
Could anyone help to explain the situation I encountered or provide any solution for this? Thank you so much！

How many users are signing in at one time? I’ve rarely seen an issue here, but maybe this is an unusually large number of authorizations?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
More than 20 authorization requests (24 requests at peak) will be received per second at that time. It usually lasts 1-2 minutes, and we will get error from then on.
