The Thundering Herd
# The Scenario
You are building a data scraper that hits a third-party API. The API is unstable and frequently returns `429 Too Many Requests`.
Your current implementation attempts to handle this by recursively calling the function again. However, this is causing a **RecursionError** and crashing the application when the API is under heavy load (The Thundering Herd problem).
# The Goal
Refactor the `fetch_data` function to handle rate limits gracefully.
- Use the `tenacity` library (already installed) to implement **exponential backoff**.
- Stop retrying after **5 attempts**.
- Reraise the exception if it still fails after 5 attempts.
