Shopify API Suddenly Failing with HTTP Status Code 429?

Our application, which uses the Shopify API to updata our store's product data and get order information, suddenly is getting failed requests a new response error code: 429 (snapshot of the headers of a request below). Has anyone experienced this? What's the correct way to handle this error? And (perhaps more importantly): Where do developers go to find out what changes are coming and when they'll be implemented, so we're not caught by surprise?

Server: nginx
Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:58:37 GMT
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Status: 429
Retry-After: 600
Cache-Control: no-cache
X-Request-Id: ***********
X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge,chrome=1
Set-Cookie: _secure_session_id=*********; path=/; secure; HttpOnly
X-Runtime: 0.041736
HTTP-Status-Code: 429 HTTP/1.1 429

From November 16th:

http://www.shopify.com/technology/6901970-api-update-status-code-change

You can follow that blog I guess if you want to know when they plan on changing things... sometimes the actual change takes longer than the initial working date. I think that is the case with 503 to 429.
