To avoid 429 errors with bots or automation tools, implement exponential backoff. This means that if you receive a 429 error, wait a short period, then retry. If you get another 429, wait a longer period, and so on. Also, respect YouTube's API terms of service and rate limits. Randomize request intervals to avoid predictable patterns.
