Failing to slow down its requests critical

This app continues making requests for feed content on a website, even after the site informs it to wait a while before making any more requests.

Why it's a problem

The excessive traffic makes a website sluggish by hogging the site's resources that can be used for other site visitors. The behavior can also cause websites to exceed their limits, making them more costly to maintain. In fact, one of the main reasons the site tells the app to slow down is usually to avoid an increase in costs.

What it means for users

Websites are likely to block this app from accessing feed content, causing feeds to stop working.

How to fix it

When a website tells this app to hold off on requesting content for a specific amount of time, it should do so.
