Twitter Api 1.1 always returns the error_code: 429, when the rate limit is exceeded. This is different from the previous version where a variety of 400 response code were being returned.

https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1

From the page:
When an application exceeds the rate limit for a given API endpoint, the Twitter API will now return an HTTP 429 “Too Many Requests” response code instead of the variety of codes you would find across the v1's Search and REST APIs.
