Rate limiting?

[Tuckie]

Any thoughts on adding rate limiting to the Client?

[API Call Limits](https://www.docusign.com/p/RESTAPIGuide/RESTAPIGuide.htm#GettingStarted/API Call Limits.htm) and API Best Practices

applications are not allowed to poll for envelope status more than once every 15 minutes

I haven't thought about it yet, no. What features would you be looking for at the gem level for rate limiting? Is it primarily to provide a better error to the user? Or perhaps you could detect that the call would hit a limit and schedule a background job to be processed in 15 min, etc. Let me know what your thoughts are. I'm happy to accept a pull request if it's a broad use case.

I unfortunately haven't figured out a great way to handle this myself, but I figured I would pose this question, as DocuSign appears to care about this. (not sure if they'll actually check during the approval process)

Docusign has since added API Rate limit headers that may be worth looking into:

X-RateLimit-Limit → 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining → 996
X-RateLimit-Reset → 1425967200
