Endpoint /api/stream/event is rate limited. Waiting 0:01:00 seconds until next request.

[ezhang7423]

Describe the bug When running this repository from scratch with no modifications, I am getting this error:

<Response [429]> 429 {"error":"Please don't poll this endpoint, it is intended to be streamed. See https://lichess.org/api#tag/Board/operation/apiStreamEvent."}

Endpoint /api/stream/event is rate limited. Waiting 0:01:00 seconds until next request.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run lichess-bot after following instructions in README.md: python lichess-bot.py
2. See error

Expected behavior I expect that getting events should be able to succeed.

Digging further, it seems like the code will call /api/stream/event several times in rapid succession:

https://lichess.org/api/stream/event None 15 True
[04/12/24 08:42:14] INFO     Next challenge will be created after 08:43:14 (0 challenges in last 24 hours)         matchmaking.py:292

This happened within the course of a second...

Another interesting note...this seems to happen because of a certain API token. When switching to a different API token, there is no issue...

[MarkZH]

What scopes are on the two API tokens? Go to the API access tokens page in your bot's preferences on lichess to see a list. Label the lists to indicate which one causes problems and which doesn't.

[ezhang7423]

Both API tokens have the correct scopes - the API token that is currently not working was working just a few days ago. If you're open to it, I can DM you privately the API token to debug with.

@ezhang7423 Sure, that will be useful. I'm m.z.h on the lichess discord server.

Please reopen if the problem persists and you can provide more details.
