Shameless from them to make it look like it's a user problem. It was loading fine for me one hour ago, now I refresh the page and their message states I'm doing too many requests and should chill out (1 request per hour is too many for you?)

Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

It’s likely that, like many organizations, this scenario isn’t something Reddit are well prepared for in terms of correct error messaging.

I remember that I made a website and then I got a report that it doesn't work on newest Safari. Obviously, Safari would crash with a message blaming the website. Bro, no website should ever make your shitty browser outright crash.

Actually I’m just thinking that knowledge about how to crash Safari is valuable.

True. At the time though I was just focused on fixing the bug.

I got a rate limit error which didn't make sense since it was my first time opening reddit in hours.

Could be a bunch of reddit bots on AWS are now catching back up as AWS recovers and spiking hits to reddit
