Same "429" error here even after trying the latest update today.

TL;DR: You’ll need to wait 60-90 minutes, they’ll clear up. Enjoy.

More context: it seems myQ is really trying hard to meaningfully cutoff access for third party apps that are trying to emulate the actual app itself. One way they’re making it more painful is that if you try to authenticate without being “just so”….and you don’t look exactly like the official myQ app in some esoteric ways…they’ve taken the understandable (if you wanted to prevent this type of thing) step of enforcing a lockout pretty quickly. That’s what these 429 errors are. After 2-4 attempts without looking exactly like the real-deal app, it locks you out for 60-90 minutes. It made updating this plugin and the API I maintain all the more fun because each time I wasn’t perfect…well, I was in the penalty box a lot. 😄

Hope the context helps.

Locking this to avoid the million “+1s”…
