Http 429

Arcade Help

FYI,

Not sure if the forum is the right place to report this, or github, but my class has been having issues over the past 2-3 weeks loading Arcade projects. It’s intermittent, but regular. When accessing a shared project link, we get an HTTP 429 (too many requests), which shows to the end user as a “page is missing.”

Sometimes a simple CTRL+R does the trick, othertimes adding a forward slash to the end of the URL. Othertimes, no dice.

Wonder if there is some newer web server IP based throttling going on.
Makes for sharing project lessons with the student really tough / unreliable.

I believe this is an error due to the project detecting profanity. Make sure there are no curse words in the projects. I am semi confident you download the link as a file it might ignore this. Hope this helps.

@michaelcaplan thanks for reporting this, we have been tweaking our throttling recently so this is probably an unintended side effect. we’re looking into it!

@Ima.notarobot this is a different issue

Hi @richard

Been meaning to hop back on this issue. Our classes hosted a demo day with about 10 computers in kiosk mode . As soon as the audience arrived, all the systems started failing to load games . Same issue.

Any movement on the issue since I originally posted?

That, or, any alt suggestions for working against the MakeCode site maybe offline on these types of environments?

Thanks again!

Mike

we’ve done a lot of fixes here, so i’m surprised the issue is still presenting itself. it’s still a 429 error that you’re getting? @hassan FYI

In the thick of things (dozens of parents and kids trying to play projects), I wasn’t able to pop the inspector. What I was able to do was cut over a laptop to a hotspot which worked for that one.

It is possible that something else was afoot. Just seemed like the same symptoms as before.

Sure enough, as the event cleared out, the issue was resolved

Wish I was able to get you better details to work with.

Thanks folks

Mike
