What is this mean and how do we fix this?

We are drawing and identifying a simple Feature service:

{
"error" :
{
"code" : 429,
"message" : "Unable to perform operation. Too many large geometry non-cacheable requests.",
"details" : [
"API calls for large geometry quota exceeded (61)! maximum allowed (60) per Minute. Retry after 60 sec."
]
}
}

Hi - This is Ann Wang from ArcGIS Online team.
You are seeing this becuase the database is being asked to perform more work than it can comfortably handle. Once the query rate limit is reached, a 429 error is triggered for non-repeatable queries to give the database time to cool off.
Since you are working on a large geometries, consider enable Optimize Layer Drawing on the item details Settings page. It can increase performance by only drawing information with the detail that is appropriate at the scale being viewed. Layer optimization usually takes a few minutes to complete and uses additional storage space to do so. For more information about Optimize Layer Drawing, please check my blog post: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/data-management/handle-large-geometry-with-o...
