Rate Limit #34
Description
Observation
Various solutions pull data from Okta and due the increase api calls to this service we are hitting rate limits.
However Okta provides information in its header to help determine when we are approaching the limit.

Example of Rate Limit header with org-wide rate limit

X-Rate-Limit-Limit: 600
X-Rate-Limit-Remaining: 598
X-Rate-Limit-Reset: 1516308901
Solution
Add logic to back off for x time when X-Rate-Limit-Remaining value is less than x ( I am thinking about 10 )
We can also pair with the X-Rate-Limit-Reset value to determine the reset period as well.
