API Error 429: API rate limit exceeded

[customroaming]

I have tried with multiple premium accounts (1 I use for zotify, and my personal), and I am getting this error whenever I try to download a song:
API Error 429: API rate limit exceeded

Is this just me? Or is something breaking?

I have reinstalled zotify, recreated all credentials, and have tried different forks.

Running into the same issue this morning. Doesn't seem like you're alone.

me too, i need my library for a NYE party :(

[Philipzoid]

I have adjusted init.py

this is where the API rate limiter is. this is what i changed:

RATE_LIMIT_API = "rate_limit_api"
RATE_LIMIT_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_HITS = 5 # Exit faster if errors persist
RATE_LIMIT_RESTORE_CONDITION = 20 # Stay in reduced mode longer
RATE_LIMIT_INTERVAL_SECS = 30
RATE_LIMIT_CALLS_NORMAL = 5 # Reduce normal calls from 9 to 5 per 30 seconds
RATE_LIMIT_CALLS_REDUCED = 2 # Reduce reduced calls from 3 to 1 per 30 seconds

I am trying this now, ill see if i can improve or tweak this to make it work again.

it still does not work, possible reason might be this:

Yeah, it sounds like Spotify will be cracking down, I have been finding alternative sites for Music instead.

Dang. I'm facing the same issue as well. Perhaps there will be a workaround eventually... screw you Spotify!!

Are we cooked?

Just adding link to the probable explanation and ideas how to approach it.

Still getting this error if I try to list my playlists (zotify -p) but I am able to successfully directly download a playlist (zotify FullPlaylistLink).
