Currently running a pricelist of around 2000 items and received lots of 429 Too Many Request errors.

Backpack.tf has a global rate limit, so if you are running tf2autobot on the same server as the pricer you may run into issues. You could be getting rate-limited by using the same bptf token for both applications and/or because both applications use the same IP address.

For larger pricelists, I developed the alwaysQuerySnapshotAPI config option, which may help you here. See the section in the readme for more information as it does have some trade-offs: https://github.com/jack-richards/bptf-autopricer?tab=readme-ov-file#alwaysquerysnapshotapi
