 Optionally you may also override the `.wait()` method.  If implemented, `.wait()` should return a recommended number of seconds to wait before attempting the next request, or `None`.  The `.wait()` method will only be called if `.allow_request()` has previously returned `False`.
 
+If the `.wait()` method is implemented and the request is throttled, then a `Retry-After` header will be included in the response.
+
 ## Example
 
 The following is an example of a rate throttle, that will randomly throttle 1 in every 10 requests.
