Throttle Limits and Maximum Requests. That's exactly what I've been
   telling my Client.
   They say, well we didn't have this problem with the old XML API
   processing.
    
   I think it's only going to get worse with the June deadline approaching.
    
   Instead of waiting for a response from UPS Support, I'm handling the
   non-json response
   and displaying a Timeout Message and tellng the User to try again.

   UPS is, let's say, challenging.
   They have arbitrary throttle limits and max requests that hit at various
   times.
   Depending on the time of day, shipping MAY try again a little later.
   I have it where I rate shop between 3 parcel carriers.
   With hitting tiers and rates, if someone doesn't like to play nice the
   package goes to the next carrier.
   The carrier sales rep doesn't like it so they push the issue to get
   service working better. MINOR success.

   I've worked with a LOT of APIs from all the players big and small... "try
   again" is a common answer. :)
