What went wrong?

I am tracing a transaction that calls some contracts that are not verified. The error message is incorrect and the red "ERROR" is rather scary.

ERROR: Unable to fetch contract type at '0xf081470f5C6FBCCF48cC4e5B82Dd926409DcdD67' from explorer.
Response indicated failure: Etherscan API server rate limit exceeded.

If ETHERSCAN_API_KEY is not set, the error message is slightly different (and has a minor typo with two periods):

Response indicated failure: Etherscan API server rate limit exceeded.. Try setting ETHERSCAN_API_KEY'.

How can it be fixed?

The error detection needs to distinguish between a contract without verified code and a rate limit error.
