## Discussion

Check for a [`CKErrorRetryAfterKey`](/documentation/CloudKit/CKErrorRetryAfterKey) key in the <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSError/userInfo> dictionary of any CloudKit error that you receive. It’s especially important to check for it if you receive any of these errors. Use the value of the [`CKErrorRetryAfterKey`](/documentation/CloudKit/CKErrorRetryAfterKey) key as the number of seconds to wait before retrying this operation.
