eBay API error : You have exceeded your maximum call limit

I have a table of eBay itemid, and for each id I want to apply a reviseitem call, but from the second call I get the following error: 

You have exceeded your maximum call limit of 3000 for 5 seconds. Try back after 5 seconds.

NB: I have just 4 calls.
How can I fix this problem?

    ebay count the calls per second per unique IP’s. So please make sure your all calls from your application must be less than 3000 per 5 seconds. hope this would help.

    I have just finished an eBay project and this error can be misleading. eBay allow a certain amount of calla a day and if you exceed that amount in one 24 hour period you can get this error. You can get this amount increased by completing an Application Check form http://go.developer.ebay.com/developers/ebay/forums-support/certification

    The eBay Trading API, to which your ReviseItem call belongs, allows up to 5000 calls per 24 hour period for all applications, and up to 1.5M calls / 24hrs for “Compatible Applications”, i.e. applications that have undergone a vetting process called “Compatible Application Check”. More details here: https://go.developer.ebay.com/developers/ebay/ebay-api-call-limits

    However, that’s just the generic, “Aggregate” call limit. There are different limits for specific calls, some of which are more liberal (AddItem: 100.000 / day) and others of which are more strict (SetApplication: 50 / day) than that. Additionally, there are hourly and periodic limits.

    You can find out any application’s applicable limits by executing the GetApiAccessRules call:

    You can try that out four your own application by pasting an AuthToken for your application into the form at https://ebay-sdk.intradesys.com/s/9a1158154dfa42caddbd0694a4e9bdc8 and then press “Execute call”.

    HTH.
