Our application, which uses the Shopify API to updata our store's product data and get order information, suddenly is getting failed requests a new response error code: 429 (snapshot of the headers of a request below). Has anyone experienced this? What's the correct way to handle this error? And (perhaps more importantly): Where do developers go to find out what changes are coming and when they'll be implemented, so we're not caught by surprise?

From November 16th:

http://www.shopify.com/technology/6901970-api-update-status-code-change

You can follow that blog I guess if you want to know when they plan on changing things... sometimes the actual change takes longer than the initial working date. I think that is the case with 503 to 429.
