too many requests

I had this same problem in yt-dlp
However, I managed to get around it by informing an IP this way
yt-dlp --source-address 00.00.00.00

In spotify_dl I couldn't find this option.
There is -p which would be a proxy but it didn't work either.

Howdy I am also seeing this against the Spotify API, returning 429 errors, and the code is not getting thr responce header with the period to wait until next request.

Can a rate limit be put in place, or an option to set one?

this is coming from youtube, not spotify.. there's nothing much I can do since 429 is saying you are rate limited
