We use IBM's Document Conversion service as a core part of our Watson-based AI system. Recently I have been getting a lot of this error whilst building our corpus:
Error SLM-THROTTLE occurred when accessing https://158.85.132.88:443/document-conversion/api/v1/convert_document?version=2015-12-15, Tran-Id: gateway-dp01-416345942 - You have reached the request rate limit, please wait and try again later
Can someone tell me what the limit is, and can it be increased?
The Document Conversion Service has currently an overall (universal) rate limit of 2,700 concurrent requests. Generally, when you get "rate limit reached" errors we recommend retrying with backoff between retries. This is something that you can implement programmatically in your application.
Out of curiosity, how many concurrent conversion requests is your application sending?
