| Subject: | unsupported error: "Too many requests" |
When evaluating your module this morning, I often got an error number
257, which, however, could not always be reproduced upon retries.
I then repeatedly made the same request until the error reappeared and
found out that there seems to be a new error state that the module is
not yet aware of.
You'll find a diff between a valid response and one that caused the
error mentioned above attached as well as a patch which introduces this
as new error number 19.
Regards,
fany
