imgur upload error 429 = rate limit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Uploading to imgur.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I got this::

Message:
The remote server returned an error: (429).

Response:
{"data":{"error":"Daily client requests 
exceeded","request":"\/3\/image","parameters":"album = 
b6Fry","method":"POST"},"success":false,"status":429}

StackTrace:
   at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
   at UploadersLib.Uploader.UploadData(Stream dataStream, String url, String fileName, String fileFormName, Dictionary`2 arguments, CookieCollection cookies, NameValueCollection headers)

Imgur upload failed. Status code: 429

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
8.2.0 r655
Windows 7 Enterprise x64

Please provide any additional information below.

Error 429 appears to be a rate limit

Possibly get ShareX whitelisted for imgur use?

It might be that all of ShareX users shared that limit since it is the same 
application uploading?  Seems unlikely but ya never know.

I contacted them about rate limit increase, waiting their response.

Any word on this?  Seem to have been hitting the rate limit more and more often 
now.

Just hit the rate limit for today, seems I'm not the first person today. Any 
news on if we can get a higher limit?

@Gabe, I believe it is application wide. So every ShareX user that uploads to 
imgur counts toward the 1,250 upload limit (set by imgur, not ShareX devs).

I believe flexy applied for ShareX to be on the whitelist so the upload limit 
is removed. We have to wait on imgur.
