Description of what the documentation currently says
Describe the section/paragraph of the documentation where you see the bug.

Rate limiting, sometimes referred to as throttling, occurs when the Amazon Ads API receives too many requests within a given time period.

When this happens, you will receive a response with the code 429. Contained within that response is a Retry-After header. The Retry-After value is the number of seconds that you should wait before submitting another API call. Rate limiting will occur dynamically based on the overall system load.

Description of what the documentation should say
A clear and concise description of the guidance you expected to see in the documentation.
