How do I get rid of a Discord rate ban?

Question

Background

I ran my bot after lots of testing (because I had an annoying bug), and I was given the following error:

Rate Ban Error

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "main.py", line 60, in <module>

How does one get rid of the rate ban on Replit? I assume it would be through an IP address reset. (Note: Replit is based on Linux)

The Discord documentation states what to do and how to avoid getting banned.

Essentially, you need to check the returned API header for the information of how many request you can do before getting banned and when it is reset. See the documentation for a full explanation.

X-RateLimit-Limit: 5
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 0
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1470173023
X-RateLimit-Reset-After: 1
X-RateLimit-Bucket: abcd1234

Here is your issue:

File "/opt/virtualenvs/python3/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/http.py", line 316, in request raise HTTPException(response, data) discord.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests

And the HTTP 429 error code is explained here.
