Describe the bug Hi so, I keep getting this error again and again when I try to login with my credentials, at first when I got this error I waited for almost like 4 hrs then tried logging in again with my same code but it gave me the same error again.

I tried the solutions given in other issues but nothing worked for me.

I almost decided to write about the same problem, but I discovered that the problem is in the proxy. What does the problem have to do with the fact that I'm using the same proxy in the browser and everything is fine in the browser, but if you use this proxy in a script, then the same error occurs there. You should probably look for other proxies...
