I can confirm this too.
I’m getting web page errors, HTTP 403 errors when trying to post a reply, and sometimes “Slow down, too many requests from this IP address” as well.
Edit; I was literally gonna report the bug here, but then I saw a bunch of posts about it.
The last few days I have been getting this error while searching for information on the forum.
You have to look for information on third-party resources.
This issue is getting worse from the time I posted on this thread. I was prevented from going on the devforum after a few hours of inactivity with this error.
This doesn’t appear to be an issue with IPs at all- using a VPN briefly to test if it would allow me to check DevForum, this didn’t work.
Also not a requests issue, because I… haven’t been on DevForum since yesterday (Nov 13) before I began to get the error, nor was my computer even on?
This needs to be fixed ASAP.
Quick fix: Completely close out of your browser and reopen it.
I just got this exact problem a few minutes ago, and it’s too frequent. I’ve only visited the DevForum only 2 times today and still got the “Slow down, too many requests from this IP address” error. Inspecting says the site returns a 429 Too Many Requests error.
This is happening to me too, I have to wait for hours to get on dev forum. I can’t use VPN to bypass it and it blocked every device in my home network.
Hey there, I am triaging some old issues in the forum bugs category, is this issue still happening? We’ve historically had some issues with networking that we’ve slowly patched over time (hence we couldn’t really give a “conclusive” reply to this before, sorry!). A lot of back-end changes have happened since 2021, so want to check if we can close this out.
I’m going to preemptively mark this post as solution to start a lockdown timer, so it will be locked if this is indeed fixed, but feel free to unmark if still happening.
