What is the correct way to handle Genesys Cloud API rate limiting in JMeter?

What is the standard approach to handle Genesys Cloud API rate limiting in JMeter when running load tests for platform_api endpoints? We are hitting 429 Too Many Requests errors consistently when simulating 50 concurrent users in ap-southeast-1. The standard retry logic seems to just amplify the problem. Need to understand the best practice for staggering requests or handling the Retry-After header properly in the script without breaking the test flow.
