You should always read retryAfterSeconds - in the Topic Start it's 30 but different values may occur. For instance, if you have basic access to the API, you have 10,000 API calls in 24 hours. When you cross that limit too soon, you may have to wait for a couple of hours.
Anyway - retryAfterSeconds will point out how many seconds you have to wait.
