You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later.

This is getting ridiculous, i opened my inventory once today to check the value of a skin that i wanted to sell and then when i reopened i got the "You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later." error. Does anyone know a fix to this BESIDES using a vpn because i run servers and cant operate a vpn at full times
please help

It's an IP rate limit added back in early October 2022 for the Market and inventories...

this restriction is per IP, so any form of shared internet connection is very likely to trigger it faster.

of course, scripts/browser addons also contribute to exceeding the limit because they might do things you dont requests you dont necessarily notice.

f.e. Augmented Steam does 2-3 additional requests every time you click a marketable item

the restriction is not short, it might even be longer than 2 days.

solution: change IP if you wanna use it earlier.

2) turn off any shared connection (VPN/proxy/kick roommates off router/etc.)

and after doing that, do things a bit slower.
certain url nodes of Steam were severely rate limited for a few weeks, it is more relaxed now but depending on how they block, people/networks might still be affected by it.

At the end of October, Valve reduced the permissible request rate for inventory lookups (endpoints).

This broke all Steam Market browser addons that heavily interrogated your owned items, typically causing a "429 Too Many requests" IP ban after a mere half-dozen transactions. The ban can easily last 6 hours, and it auto-refreshes if you exceed the limit again during the ban.

According to findings on the ArchiSteamFarm github, extension developers will need to forcibly cap the number of matches returned to 2000 (via the "count" parameter), and introduce other delays so as to guarantee only 1 request every 4 seconds.

This is deliberate behavior on Valve's part. Until the addon devs update their code, you can't do a damn thing about it except change your IP and go back to using only the clunky, non-enhanced official Steam Client (which apparently isn't affected).

tl;dr... Change your IP.

have you kept your accounts secure..... might be hijacked....




hijacked account

The Steam community recommends 5 steps, done in order, to make sure that the scammer's bot is not only kicked out of your account, but also cannot get back into your account again through malware or using Backup Steam Guard Codes.

Scan for malware https://www.malwarebytes.com/ is one possible tool if you don't have one already.

Deauthorize all other devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage (scroll down to "Concerned your credentials are saved on another device?" and click the button that says "Deauthorize all other devices." DO NOT remove your Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator).

Change your Steam account password from a clean device.

Generate new Backup Steam Guard Codes https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage (scroll down to "Get Backup Steam Guard Codes" and click the button that says "Get Backup Codes").

Revoke your Steam account's Web API key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey if needed (if you see a blank field after "domain name", then the scammer did not register a Steam Web API Key).

Make sure you check the API key again after finishing all the other steps in case the hijacker's bot added it again after you removed it earlier.

It's not due to a hijacking.

I started having this issue lately and It's been getting more and more aggressive.
I literally opened 2 inventories today and Instantly got blocked. It's frustrating af when you have to wait almost a day for it to go away.

If your ISP shares the same IP address with other users, or if you use a VPN, it was someone else who reached the limit for your IP address.

If you kept trying to load the inventory after the rate limit was reached, it is possible that you kept extending the limit for the entire week.

In any case, depending on the ISP, switching off your router then switching it on after a minute or so (in some cases, it may be necessary to have it off for days...) should assign you a new address. If you happen to use a VPN, switch to a different server and it might work.
