Error: Couldn't find Dyn record: too many requests

[mccartney]

We've recently started to observe the following failures happening every few days:

00:03:30.524  dyn_record.CNAME_fancy: Refreshing state... [id=123445993]
00:03:30.782  dyn_record.CNAME_boring: Refreshing state... [id=123445232]
00:03:32.158  ╷
00:03:32.158  │ Error: Couldn't find Dyn record: too many requests

Not sure if it's only us.

I wonder if there's any retry/sleep which could help on the Terraform side of things (other than asking Dyn to change their rate limiting).

[mccartney]

We don't have that many records:

# grep -r "resource \"dyn" . | wc -l
     377

I am not sure what is the scope of the rate-limiting on Dyn side - i.e. is the time bucket per second or per day, etc.

[mccartney]

Their docs say:

The default rate limit is currently 300 requests per minute, or 5 requests per second
