429 Too Many Requests https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/429

This is not related to Faker itself but that you are doing to many requests from your client to this provider Faker "just" concatenates a string that is at the end an URL that the user who use Faker can then call.

BUT! I see you are using these for avatars and so I assume you need it the same as I need it for my project to mock some faces. We were talking already about how we could provide some alternatives for this and e.g. wanted to have a provider that provides AI generated non real world person faces. But a paid or non-deterministic provider is not an option.

A second alternative might be to create a repo under @faker-js org and upload images there. This would bring maintenance burden and also we might run into legal issues if we don't care to much about the data as then they are in our responsibility were as the current set is not that much but was "gifted" to us as a present (https://github.com/faker-js/faker/pull/95#issuecomment-1010609280)

The original issue is outside of our control so I consider this as nothing to do for us here except documentation which is covered by https://github.com/faker-js/faker/issues/1783.
