Constant 429 Too Many Requests

[stevehjohn]

Hi,

I've been using your awesome API to pit a bot I'm developing against other online bots. Unfortunately, last night I kept getting 429 responses. I shut everything down and went to bed. I tried one game this morning and the first API call returned 429 even though I hadn't made a request for hours.

Any ideas what the issue could be here?

Keep up the good work. Awesome site and API.

Thanks inn advance,

Steve.

I went to /appeal and it says my account is not marked as restricted. I wasn't doing anything nefarious. Just playing one game at a time.
The flow was:

• Challenge bot
• Check for acceptance
• Make move
• Wait for respose
• Make move
  etc...

It's a little frustrating as I'd just gotten the API client working properly, and the engine detecting wins/losses correctly.

Hmm. It's back now approximately 12 hours after it stopped working...

Will close this issue soon as it's working now, just leaving open for a short file to see if anyone can explain what I might have done to be blocked for ~12h, so that I don't do it again.
