The problem I’ve noticed the last few days is that the error seems specifically targeted at the user of a given app rather than saying the global limit has been reached. Worst case scenario, I could be hitting you with up to 5 requests spaced 1.5 seconds apart every 3-4 minutes yet I’m getting the same message as the OP.

I know the API has been sketchy for some time now but at least before, it said the global limit had been reached and I fully understand that and it’s reassuring to know it’s not just me. The current error is making it look like I’m doing something wrong when I’m not.
