Reschedule function not working #12

Hi Team,

The script found an early date today and ran the reschedule function which was successful but my appointment date hasn't changed. Screenshot 2024-03-06 005225

I have observed this as a consequence of the slot being taken in the short timeframe between requesting availability and rescheduling.

Unfortunately there are other automated script users so it's a very competitive process. This might be improved by rewriting the rescheduling steps with requests but I need a test account that I can actually reschedule.

that's quite unfortunate, I understand there is that problem with an account to test with. This might pose a problem as I believe it is difficult alone to find an available date.

Hello @kcajc - To let you know, this issue still persists. I found six availabilities yesterday and couldn't book a single one due to competitiveness. Any short term solutions that we can implement?

You may try shorter retry timeout. My experiment suggests that retrying too often will trigger some rate limit, but you can try tweaking the timeouts in settings.
