HTTPClient::ClientError #2

Is this normal? or Rate limits of the API?

 [⚡]  ACCOUNT CHECKS THAT ENCOUNTERED ERROR:

hey @michenriksen

as the haveibeenpwned.com says that

Adding a 100 millisecond delay between requests will usually ensure this won't happen.

maybe you can implement this to avoid rate limitting :D
