I can't access my inventory because of this error.

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

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.

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.

So they will update Steam and fix the error later?

The real problem is that it's not even possible to search or browse some large (bot) inventories at all without triggering the rate limit.

This morning I made one last try in the official Steam client to see if two of the ASF bots listed here[asf.justarchi.net] had the last Stealth Bastard Deluxe card I'm looking for. Didn't help, so WhatZit's talk about the Steam Client not being affected is apparently no longer true.

Mobile app, the PC client, in Chrome and Firefox
From within a trade offer or from the inventory page
Searching directly for an item name, or attempting to use advanced filters, or just paging through (not that this is feasible or reasonable)
None of it matters; if the potential trade partner's inventory is over about 100k items, you're hosed. Changing your IP doesn't fix this.

How do people even use card trading bots like this or this anymore?

...Well, if anyone has Stealth Bastard Deluxe card #6 and is willing to swap it with me for #1, hit me up in hopefully eight hours I guess. Maybe I can get it from SteamCardExchange in time for the Summer Sale...

Why cant you just buy it if its that hard?

Why would I spend actual money on trading cards?

The point is: there is no way to examine someone else's public inventory if they've got over $unknown number of items in it, even from the official Steam client, and attempting to do so will bar you from looking at even your own inventory for $unknown length of time.

How long is the cooldown usually to be able to look at one's inventory again? I'm getting this error and I'm not sure how long until I'll be able to look at my inventory again

If you don't have a dedicated IPv4 address (CGNAT/DSLite, typically used in cable and in some cases fiber), it can be pretty long depending on what someone does on the same ISP as you.

If you do have a dedicated IPv4 address (also called "public" or "public dynamic" IP address), a router restart (or what is necessary to get allocated a new one) should suffice.

I think I have the 2nd one, but I'm not 100% sure

You can check the WAN IPv4 address in your router (not the router configuration website itself)

If it is one that starts with
10.*.*.*
172.16.*.* up to 172.31.*.*
192.168.*.*
(all RFC1918)
or 100.64.*.* up to 100.127.*.*
(RFC 6598)
it's CGNAT or Dual Stack Lite (if in combination with IPv6)

Consult your router's manual on how to find that out.

Are you sure that's not your LAN?

It's my LAN I believe, LAN Adapter Wifi is what it's showing me, I went in Windows command prompt to look it up by typing "ipconfig"

yeah, that's your LAN, not the IPv4 address assigned by your ISP which is only visible on the router's configuration page.

Ah ok, sorry about that. I'm not a really tech savy person.

It starts with a 2, the IPv4
