Hi,

without further details on what requests you make, what user-agent your script uses, and the times at which you've seen this issue, it's going to be hard to help you.

My bet is that you've incurred into one of our throttling/anti-abuse rules.

If you open a task on phabricator with details (if possible, an IP would also help, in that case feel free to make the task private) and point me to it, I can investigate what is going on. I'm pretty confident the problem is not the servers being overloaded.

Cheers,

G.

I know. As I said before, this literally started on the first request I made.

Maybe this is not it, but worth checking: "Make your requests in series rather than in parallel, by waiting for one request to finish before sending a new request."[1]

Given that I have a clean residential IPv6, that is very unlikely. Plus, it was working just a few days. And it still doesn’t work with a VPN.

I don’t think it’s a bug as a few requests go through fine, based on the behavior, I think it’s server overload or something like that.

I am not sending very many requests. I haven’t sent any requests in several days and yet I get the error message.

Maybe someone else is doing it from the same IP, or maybe it's a bug. You could file a report in Phabricator with the details of what you are doing and the details from that error page.
