backend "Error: Value fetching for {oeis_id} in progress" not reflected in frontend #262

Open katestange opened 1 year ago

When the backend is returning "Error: Value fetching for {oeis_id} in progress" (e.g. if crawling the OEIS too fast, this can happen), the frontend just returns a blank visualization and no error message. It should alert the user to the problem. Screenshot from 2023-04-11 16-36-45

Also, as an aside, the backend doesn't seem to recover from this even when the OEIS has stopped complaining about fast crawling. See https://github.com/numberscope/backscope/issues/69

This is closely tied with #407 or possibly a duplicate, so assigning same milestone.
