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]

someone else is doing it from the same IP, or maybe it's a bug.
You could file
a report
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/43/> in
Phabricator with the details of what you are doing and the details from
that error page.
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.
