HTTP Error 429

[hax0n]

In the last few days I've been getting these errors while using the bot on PythonAnywhere

Log (Reversed ordered):

2017-05-11 02:28:21 Error: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests Requesting returnActiveLoans

Started right after the recent DDoS/Lag issues over the last few days. I've also tried changing sleeptimeactive and sleeptimeinactive to longer time frames and the errors persist.

When I start the bot if there are any available funds a loan is generated but after that it seems the bot ceases to work and only spits out these errors.

It's an issue on Poloniex side, you can open a support ticket see if they can do something or move your bot out of pythonanywhere so it doesn't share IP with other bots.

[Zeek1010]

I;m also having the same issue. Have you contacted polo yet? Is anyone else experiencing this?

[mike4001]

Had the same problem.

It seems in response to the recend DDoS attacks Poloniex has reduced the allowed connections per IP which basically renders pythonanywhere useless.

[rnevet]

I sent an email now to support, lets see when and if they can help.

I personally gave up a long time ago on running the bot on free services and am using Digital Ocean ~5$/month. (I can provide a 10$ referral, it's their standard.)

[TVilaboa]

Any news? I'm currently having the same trouble using PythonAnywhere

[Zeek1010]

Dont use python anywhere. Im currently using digital ocean. Or you could prob use amazon's cloud servers

Having the same issues with my raspberry Pi and my own connection/IP.

Poloniex is just being hammered right now ... will work again soon.

[kingo55]

I think we need some sort of exponential back-off when this occurs.

Bots get stuck even on private IPs...

[tamaskan]

thats one of the scenarios where auto-switching to bitfinex would be nice ^^

[rnevet]

@tamaskan Would not help, as you won't be able to move funds...

[rnevet]

Should be improved by https://github.com/BitBotFactory/poloniexlendingbot/pull/387 adding an additional sleep in case of 429 errors.
