429 Client error

[RayHJLin]

Hi,

As title. I always get this error during garth.login

Does anyone has suggestion?

Thanks.

429 is for too many requests. Do you have anyway to try from a different IP address?

[RayHJLin]

I changed to my mobile network and it works. Thanks but why always return 429 error when I used my wifi?

[matin]

Your internet likely shares a IP address with others, and that IP address is blocked. At least, that's my theory.

@matin : Some questions on this situation I also encountered:

• Are there any insights on how long an IP remains blocked due to an HTTP 429 error?
• If additional login attempts are made during the block, does it extend the timer?
• Does the HTTP 429 error response contain any information about the duration of the block? (i.e. Header Fields Retry-After/RateLimit-Reset)

Are you saving and reusing the login tokens?

From what I've seen, the rate limit is based primarily on login, but that can be addressed by saving and reusing the auth tokens.

No, I was not saving when testing - will do.

Next day login was working again. Seems the source IP is not blocked forever.
