You sent too many requests recently. Please wait and try again

[Ambussin]

Hey guys, it's been month since i was unable to check inventory (I can't even sell my csgo skins because of this) on steam. It always says You sent too many requests recently. Please wait and try again.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

It's an IP rate limit. Change your IP.

Could be mobil issue, try the steam online client from the pc. ( or maybe even web browswr webpage login issue )

It's an IP rate limit, not a mobile app issue.

It's not mobile app bug because I'm having this issue on all devices/browsers

How do I change IP? And does it mean that 1 IP address has limit for doing some actions like clicking on your inventory for max 100 times for example?

"Too many requests" is 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.

Also to note that this limit is shared with the entire ISP if you don't have a dedicated (also known as public) IPv4 address, which is typical in CGNAT/Dual Stack Lite scenarios.

Ask your ISP to grant you a dedicated/public (doesn't matter if static or dynamic) IPv4 address and you will far less likely encounter this issue again.

How do I change IP?

That depends on your ISP. You might be able to change it by just restarting you modem. Or you might have to call you ISP to get it changed. You can also have a talk with your ISP to see if you can pay for a dedicated IP. That is what i did and it just added an extra $10 a month to my bill.

Hey guys! Thanks for the tips. I'll try some of them once I'll have time to do it so I'll let you know! Also, I found out I can temporarily use mobile hotspot to open the inventory (at least I'm able to trade/sell) which only proves your diagnosis.

This started happening to me a couple of days ago. I never had an issue like this, but I've gotten this message twice in the last three days.

You + Ip = Defamation.

Valve has every technical tools to say, or not, if too much requests were actually made by "you", or by a shared IP, starting by the user account session, and therefore Valve can correctly apply the limit to the real requester instead of doing it to "you".

First suggestion: change the message, Valve, or there are bases for call you Liars.
Second suggestion: limit per user, not per IP.

Otherwise whoever is limited, will simply solve changing its IP and cheat your useless limiting system, whoever can't or won't, will be unfairly limited.
