[Breaking] Assets stop loading completely during playtests

Issue: Assets stop loading shortly after a playtest starts, preventing me from properly playtesting my game. I can reproduce this 100% of the time, restarting my game does not fix it. It almost seems like asset requests are being rate-limited somehow, as it works fine for the first thirty to sixty seconds before assets stop loading. This is visibly apparent in the output window.

Example:

Here is an example video: note that part way through the output starts throwing HTTP 429 errors and certain gameplay-necessary meshes just stop loading completely (note the cars in the dealership). This happens to different assets every time - sometimes clothes don’t load and NPCs spawn naked, certain sounds stop loading, et cetera. Sometimes the palm tree textures are loaded before I start the playtest, then when I exit and go back to studio they are no longer loaded.

This is seriously disrupting our workflow!

Expected behavior

I expect meshes and sounds to load normally as they do in the live game.
