The Google Forms API has rate limits to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage. These limits are typically expressed as requests per user per minute. If you exceed the limits, you'll receive an error response. To handle rate limits, implement exponential backoff with jitter in your code. This means retrying the request after a delay that increases exponentially with each failure, and adding a random amount of jitter to avoid synchronized retries.
