Could you rephrase the issue description? I am not sure how to understand it. Do you mean that a 4xx or 5xx response from the server triggers many repeated requests to the health endpoint from the SDK?

[igor-lemon]

If a HTTP server return 400 or 500 code to /health request SDK start spam /health requests many times without any delay, ~4-6 requests per seconds endless

@mtrezza this was fixed via #1419

[mtrezza]

Was this a Parse Server issue or a Parse JS SDK issue? If so, I'll move the issue to the JS SDK.

[dplewis]

This is the JS SDK that the issue was posted in, no need to move it
