Description

T414214 reports a 429 error stopping an AWB bot with NoLimits plugin. The released version, 6400, should quietly retry with an escalating timeout. A fix to respect the RetryAfter header is in the tree, but not yet released.

Needed: investigate whether the bot mode path skips that quiet retry, and/or whether NoLimits is issuing its own HTTP requests without error handling.

Update: it seems the existing fix doesn't apply to the code that processes a list.

I have a simple fix in the ApiMakeList, which should cover the cases listed in T414214. Trying to test it now.
