I have multiple clients making requests with the same app. If I get too many 429 on one client will that in any way affect other clients by responding with a 429?

Can my app get blacklisted or temporarily slowed for all clients if I make to many requests?

API rate limit is per app and per authenticated user.

No, your app won't get blacklisted (prefer to call blocked nowadays) because of exceeding rate limit. It just get 60 secs penalty.

Please read this article for more about our API rate limit and how to avoid it.
