Rate-Limit Hotfix Push Rejected by Origin

A third of partner API calls are answered with HTTP 429 while the agreed rate-limit hotfix waits to deploy.

Briefing

A partner's batch job started at 10:00 and the gateway has been answering a third of its calls with HTTP 429 since.

The deploy pipeline only builds what is on origin/main, and your push came back rejected.

Someone suggests forcing it through.

Before anything goes to origin, find out what origin has that you do not.

The fix is yours to find: hints, the recovery checks and the debrief unlock inside the incident.
