Can't load a single inventory (Too many requests)
So I have this issues for 1 week straight already.

Is there even a fix for this? I've checked around on youtube, got no extensions on, vpn didnt work etc etc.

Is there a solution to this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? :steamthumbsdown:

It's an IP rate limit added back in early October 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.

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.

Restarting the router fixed the problem for me, but I had to restart the router right after I got up this morning because I had the error right after I first logged into Steam. Hopefully this will be fixed soon, I can`t restart the router so often because there are more Internet users here

(I only use the steam client, no enhanced steam or other apps/browsers)
