APIs are returning 429 "Too many requests" error #155

Closed samvbeckmann closed 2 years ago

samvbeckmann commented 2 years ago

Whenever I call one of the APIs the request is returning a 429 HTTP code for "Too many requests." This happens on my first request, so I don't think I'm being rate limited. Is there some issue with the total requests to the site exceeding some threshold?

Looks like the problem has resolved itself for now, though keeping open to see if there’s some underlying issue in the logs.
