I get the "429 Too Many Requests" error pretty frequently when just casually using the site. I'm not using a script or automation or anything like that. It's just casual web browsing. If I refresh, it goes away. There might be a limit to the number of connections on the webserver it is hitting?

I see. Thanks for all that you do!

Same issue, I'm on mobile

Maybe you need a CDN or a WAF?

I'm having the same issue. Im trying to look at analytics for my game "Midnight Magic". Whenever I add more than 3 tags like "Adult, Browser, Language" itll give me an error.

Started happening 2-4 weeks ago. Before that no issues.

Still happening and happening on mobile site usage as well. If I try to use more than 1 tag it says this, won't go away with any amount of refreshing or opening links in new tab, or anything. Also happens when I try to filter anything, seemingly randomly and with random options. Also will only show about 20 games on the page and will not ever load any more despite saying that there are 356 games that match my query. WTF happened to this site being the best for indie games and developers when we can't even navigate it without this error popping up every 2 seconds?

same issue as above. i think probably one of the better possible solutions would just be adding a cdn, such as cloudflare (which i've heard has decent filtering for scraper bots and the like now)

then the inconvenience on the user-side is minimized, just being a moment's wait while confirming the user isn't a bot, rather than making the tag-based search function and other such parts of the site nearly unusable.

still happening unfortunately. I apply 2 tags and 1 filter, and as soon as I apply a 2nd filter I get a 429 error. Logged in. Android, chrome browser. Seems like the limit is wayyy tpo restritctive.

Happening here as well. It's dumb because they're using an infinite scrollbar rather than page selectors for pagination which means you can't say 'reload from page 2' but instead just suddenly stop getting results when scrolling. If you refresh the page, you don't get any search results. Their rate limiting is way too aggressive. They're probably trying to protect against bots, but it's obvious the setting is affecting normal users even when logged in and has been for months so I'm guessing they feel the bot prevention is worth user discontent.

For others who find this, reduce the number of filters that you're using and it'll stop. I'm guessing that their way of using filters issues multiple requests to the API or something and that is causing too many calls and thus the 429. I only used two filters (windows and free) on top-sellers with one tag and couldn't view the page for more than 2 minutes without a 429. I only removed "windows" and left everything else the same, and it stopped throwing errors.
