Error25: Rate Limit Cooldown

A too-many-requests page that counts itself down: three bordered cells state the usage window, and a live counter holds the place of the retry button until the limit lifts, at which point the seal button appears.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/error25.tsx, plus the two design-system primitives it renders through: badge6 for the square eyebrow and button1 for the retry seal button.

Quick start

The installed file exports error25Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it and the cooldown starts counting immediately.

import { Error25, error25Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/error25";

export default function RateLimited() {
  return <Error25 {...error25Demo} />;
}

Feed cooldownSeconds from your Retry-After header and handle the retry yourself:

"use client";

import { Error25 } from "@/components/beste/block/error25";

export default function RateLimited({ retryAfter }: { retryAfter: number }) {
  return (
    <Error25
      label="Rate Limited"
      code="429"
      heading="You are asking <strong>faster than we answer</strong>."
      description="Nothing is broken and nothing was charged. The limit lifts on its own."
      labels={{
        retry: "Send it again",
        waiting: "The limit lifts in",
        seconds: "seconds",
        usageTitle: "Your window",
      }}
      cooldownSeconds={retryAfter}
      stats={[
        { title: "Requests used", value: "1,000" },
        { title: "Allowed per minute", value: "1,000" },
        { title: "Window", value: "Rolling 60s" },
      ]}
      link={{ label: "Raise your limit", href: "/pricing" }}
      onRetry={() => location.reload()}
    />
  );
}

Behavior notes

• The counter and the retry button occupy the same slot: while remaining is above zero the block shows the waiting sentence, and at zero it swaps in the seal button. Nothing is disabled and greyed out, so there is no dead control on screen.
• The countdown runs once and stops at zero. It does not restart, and pressing retry does not reset it, so a second cooldown needs a fresh mount or a new cooldownSeconds value.
• Passing no cooldownSeconds (or 0) starts the block in the retry state, which is the right shape when your API does not send a Retry-After value.
• The waiting line is marked aria-live="polite", so screen readers hear the remaining time without the page grabbing focus every second.
• labels.usageTitle renders as a caption underneath the cells, not above them, so the numbers lead and the explanation follows.
