Thank you for the feedback.

Just for clarification: You should get HTTP 429 only if you submit more 
than one request in parallel. This help other users to also get a chance 
that their queries are executed.

If you get HTTP 429 in another case, please enforce that there is no 
runaway query by calling
http://overpass-api.de/api/kill_my_queries
This kills another query from your IP adress if any is running.

Best regards,

Roland
