I am fetching 461 records from one operation in webservice connector and sending the response to another operation which will hit an api 461 times using identities unique id(one by one).

i am facing the above exception while doing so. Can anyone provide solution for the same?  
Any leads would be appreciated.

Try specifying **Retry-After** : {seconds to wait before rate limit resets} in header.

Thankyou so much for the reply…  
My solution:

I segregated my 460 requests into 60 each and added a sleep time of 600ms between each call using before operation rule.
