Rate limiting an HTTP connection is not something OAuth-specific. HTTP error code "429 Too Many Requests" is probably your best bet for getting clients to behave:

Dear all,

We are implementing a OAuth 2.0 server and there is a point that is not clear for me in the RFC 6749.

What error should we return when the maximum number of attempts for resource owner credentials is exceeded? I can not see any suitable error in the current RFC.

We are implementing a policy for controlling this X attempts per period (e.g.: 3 times/15 minutes)

Thanks for your answer.

Kind Regards,

Santiago Pérez
