For some reason whenever i make a request to one of the friends count apis (friends, followers, followings) with my vps it lets me make one request then ratelimits (429), i tried to use a roblosecurity auth cookie with it but same result would happen.
APIS Affected:
https://friends.roblox.com/v1/users/1/friends/count https://friends.roblox.com/v1/users/1/followers/count https://friends.roblox.com/v1/users/1/followings/count
Also to note i have seen a few bug reports like this made in the past and acknowledged by staff but the bug still is happening for similar apis.

Tested endpoint:
https://groups.roblox.com/v1/users/21735007/groups/roles (Refresh at least 6 times)
I’ve observed that limitation seems to be per IP. Sometimes a 200 code appears after 429, …
We use the endpoint https://assetdelivery.roblox.com/v2/assetId/{assetId} to download place and model assets for our deployment process. For nearly 2 years, this has worked fine, however about 2 months ago, this endpoint started throwing a HTTP 429: Too Many Requests error after a single successful request and would continue throwing this error for 1 hour afterwards. This only happens when the requests are sent from our DigitalOcean services, I have tried on multiple home and office networks and…

Yeah, my post called Friends API Rate Limits (the first one linked in your post above) was never resolved despite being acknowledged. The only way I was able to get around it was by proxying my requests through different IPs which is kinda annoying.
