More information available at https://getstream.io/chat/docs/api_errors_response, serverErrorCode=9, statusCode=429, cause=null)
It fails for a few seconds, and then it'll work. Maybe only a test-environment issue, and I was unknowingly abusing the API?
Expected behavior It should work as expected and select all users who have been clicked, and the API should return 201.

Hi @Sagar0-0 ,
Thank you for the report!
The cause of this problem is because we attempt to create a draft channel each time the list of selected user changes. If this is done too often in a short amount of time, the createChannel operation could hit its rate limits on back-end - which would end up in each subsequent call returning an HTTP 429.
After the cooldown period is done, the call will went through successfully.
We will take up a task to optimise this, so that the rate limit is not hit. However, since this is an issue in the sample app and not in the SDK, we will take this up with lower priority!
Best regards, Petar
