Hello @Renee Decker,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

This Status code 429 error indicates that your application is being throttled due to too many requests being sent to the Azure Key Vault.

Azure Key Vault enforces service limits to prevent resource misuse and maintain quality of service for all clients. When a client exceeds a service threshold, Key Vault restricts further requests from that client temporarily, returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too Many Requests), and the request fails. Note that failed requests returning a 429 status do not count toward Key Vault’s throttle limits.

For information on this refer to below links:
