MERA005 - Meraki Dashboard API Rate Limit Exceeded

Agent error code #MERA005 indicates the Meraki Dashboard API rate-limited the agent (HTTP 429). The Dashboard caps calls at 10 per second per organization.

The agent automatically backs off and retries (honoring the Retry-After header) before surfacing this error, so seeing it means the limit persisted across several attempts. The grant is left in a pending-retry state and is retried on the next grant cycle.

Common causes include:

  • Another integration is consuming the organization's API budget
  • A large burst of grants/revokes in a short window

Steps to Resolve

  1. Wait for the rate-limit window to clear. The agent retries automatically
  2. Reduce other API consumers against the same organization if the limit is hit frequently
