Unexpected HTTP/1.1 429 when I was making only 10 requests in 14 seconds

Hey,
I was making 10 requests in 14 seconds as follows but only 2 of them were successful. Please let me know how to fix it. In addition, those X-RateLimit headers make little sense to me.
no. timestamp status count(*) Limit Remaining Reset 1. 2015-11-19 11:40:03 HTTP/1.1 429 62 2. 2015-11-19 11:40:05 HTTP/1.1 429 79 3. 2015-11-19 11:40:06 HTTP/1.1 429 98 4. 2015-11-19 11:40:08 HTTP/1.1 429 114 5. 2015-11-19 11:40:09 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 40 30 1447905064 6. 2015-11-19 11:40:10 HTTP/1.1 200 OK 40 9 1447905064 7. 2015-11-19 11:40:12 HTTP/1.1 429 58 8. 2015-11-19 11:40:13 HTTP/1.1 429 69 9. 2015-11-19 11:40:15 HTTP/1.1 429 87 10. 2015-11-19 11:40:17 HTTP/1.1 429 105
(*) The number appeared in the error message: "Your request count (##) is over the allowed limit of 40."
Here is my test script: for i in {1..10}; do num=$(printf "%02d" ${i}); curl -D "header${num}.txt" "http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?api_key=****************************&query=house%20of%20cards&page=1&language=en" > "result${num}.txt"; sleep 1; done
BTW, I am located in Asia. Would a foreign IP do any difference?

Hi clauslin,
Is your IP shared in any way? You can see your limit going down in between requests (from 30 remaining to 9, so in between there was 21 requests made) so something is making additional calls with your IP.

Hi Travis,
Yes, the IP is shared. I was doing that at my office.
Then, I ran the script at my home and this time 'X-RateLimit-Remaining' decreased as documented. Thanks for your help!

No problem!
