Other people's inventories won't open

[EXtensiveEXtendo]

After I go into the inventory of bots that have a lot of items 2 times and go into the item search filters, I get the error: This inventory is temporarily unavailable. After these actions, no other people’s inventories open for me at all for about 12 hours. And neither on the mobile client, nor on the PC, nor in the browser. Could this be some kind of temporary ban from Steam? I encountered this error for the first time yesterday, today it happened again

Update:

I have already written the conclusions of this problem below. Here is their duplicate:

-Having a dedicated static white IP address that is used by only one person, one device and one Steam account cannot solve the problem.

-The ban is caused by an attempt to apply filters or use the search bar in large inventories of 10,000 Steam items or more (I did not count the exact number of items from which this error begins). After this attempt, the error "This inventory is not available at this time. Please try again later" or the error "Your filter did not find any items" may appear. When this happens, your IP address is banned for a certain amount of time and you cannot open any other people's inventories during this time.

- With a dedicated static IP address, the ban is lifted after 30-90 minutes, provided that all this time you did not enter other people's inventories and waited for it to end. If you try to log into them, the ban may drag on for a long time if you do not have a dynamic IP address. In my case, the ban on one IP address lasted 8 hours. During this time, every 30-60 minutes I made at least 1 attempt to open someone else's inventory, as a result of which I only made it worse for myself and increased the ban time. If you have a dynamic IP address, then you can simply reboot the router and instantly get a new IP address and not wait for the end of the ban.

In the end, I would like to add that some of this data may be slightly different for everyone, but the fact remains that a dedicated IP address does not help solve this problem!

In my very first message, which started the topic? Wouldn't it look weird?

Yes, in there. Weird. Not really, if you specific it is an edit/update on the matter (but they are not "a conclusion"). It is just a way to highlight critic information gathered without making users scroll all the comments, otherwise they can miss them. This guy, https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/10/1652169858536522588/, for example, added all his gathered updates ...a lot

Also, usually when a post is closed/solved, it is possible to tag a comment as the "answer" (under the comment's arrow menu), and show it highlighter as first comment: like this (in light blue) https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/6821308966008186760/
But this of yours, I'm afraid, is a matter that will remain unsolved for a long time-

But choose for yourself I do not want to push

I've updated the first message. And by the way, who gave us all several awards and why?

I've updated the first message

Seems perfect

Now, I would like to add some of my related experiences. Doing many trades daily, I experience the ip ban several times a day, just because I open and switch tabs between users and bot inventories. When I got the "blank page" instead of inventory (once called "too much request" error). I need to change access.

I use 2 different internet access. I suppose they are not in CGNAT and I cannot know, nor I am interested in changing it to a dedicated. Surely they are not static IPs.

When the first goes down (banned), I switch to the other, in the meanwhile I disconnect and turn off the first to release the banned ip, so I will be ready and clean for the next ban, with another, new Ip, hoping it will change.

I do not use steam market/trades browser plugins anymore, for the reason in OP
I do not use automatic/api access to do these activities, I always and only use the steam website window interfaces. Manually, for us to intend.

This ban shows 90% of the case, when I request and open a big inventory (>10.000 items, but I have to switch pages, to request more infos)

This ban increase its probabilities to appears when I switch inventory tabs: (the community item inventory is a tab is different from the in-game items, csgo, dota etc.) Since these are different requests to the platform, and even if is done with a single click of mine, the site goes nuts because the requests to get items info and descriptions are too many, it seems.

I do daily trades in the order of dozen, but not hundreds, I am a "manual" user, nor a bot, nor a api one. All this explained, to make you and other readers understand that this is a problem who affect a normal user, a normal use of the system, and not a fast and overloading requester/abuser. It became very clunky and annoying in the last years, and all due to some other misuse, someone else, of the system. Blame whoever, but someone must intervene to not punish everyone trasversally like this is happening.

I have no idea. I just gave you one treasure chest to the main post. Cheers.
