Blame your ISP for not giving you a dedicated IPv4 address.

IPv4 addresses are not unique anymore. As there are more humans (8 billion) than IPv4 addresses (4.2 billion), ISPs have chosen to route users together on an identical IPv4 address. This technique is known as CGNAT.

Want no IP related trouble? Get a dedicated IPv4 address. Simple.

This issue is that someone on your ISP is botting market and inventory and triggers the API limit. It's an IPv4 based limit. As your ISP is using CGNAT or DSLite, everyone on your ISP suffers.

If you do have a dynamic dedicated IPv4 address, power cycle your router and possibly your modem (if cable) or ONT (if fiber) to obtain a new IPv4 address.

If you have a static dedicated IPv4 address, you will have to wait it out, at least for 24 hours.

If you are on CGNAT or Dual Stack Lite, tough luck. You will have to wait until the bot user stops or ask your ISP to give you a dedicated IPv4 address.

If you use a VPN, stop doing so. You are violating the Steam Subscriber Agreement.

Additionally, if you are using an extension or a plugin which makes extensive use of the Steam API, cease using that extension.

I also was told about those IP bans (and I was getting them every other day after 6-7 cliks in my inventory for 24 hours) that the reason of this issue is overpopulation and lack of IPv4 addresses ...by the same people -

So you just have to wait not trying to open your inventory during this wait (it'll resume the ban) because otherwise you simply won't be able to use your inventory anymore. And it's a new valve user friendly policy.
