Both are important - the response code for well-behaved machines, as many tools intrinsically know that 429 means to slow down (also send a Retry-After header if you want more customization), and the text message for humans, as they don't see the response code and would otherwise see a blank page. Reddit is guilty of sending 429 with no message - try browsing it through Tor and you'll see. |
