Same for me.

maybe a "fix" for scam (hack an account, sold all items at once and buy a useless item for all the money)

hmmm only i remember is i sold few of my inventory items that i don't need.

just hypothétic^^
Dont brake my dreams!
I want to believe!

Also i asked support. Below is their response;

"Hello,

Thanks for reporting this.

The error indicates that you are sending too many requests to the game's item servers. This most often happens when a browser extension is gathering information about items on a page, or when an IP address is shared across multiple accounts, which often happens when using a VPN, especially peer-to-peer VPNs.

Unfortunately, we have no way of removing these restrictions. We recommend removing any extensions that automate item and inventory activity and disabling all VPN usage. Please note there may be a delay of up to one day between removing the extensions and being able to browse the market or Steam inventories.

We aren't able to offer any assistance with this issue, so this ticket is now closed. If you have an unrelated issue, please open a new help request, and we will be happy to help.

Steam Support"

very usefull answer^^

"Too many requests" is an IP rate limit added back in early October 2022 for the Market and inventories...

this restriction is per IP, so any form of shared internet connection is very likely to trigger it faster.

of course, scripts/browser addons also contribute to exceeding the limit because they might do things you dont requests you dont necessarily notice.

f.e. Augmented Steam does 2-3 additional requests every time you click a marketable item

the restriction is not short, it might even be longer than 2 days.

solution: change IP if you wanna use it earlier.

2) turn off any shared connection (VPN/proxy/kick roommates off router/etc.)

and after doing that, do things a bit slower.
certain url nodes of Steam were severely rate limited for a few weeks, it is more relaxed now but depending on how they block, people/networks might still be affected by it.

At the end of October, Valve reduced the permissible request rate for inventory lookups (endpoints).

This broke all Steam Market browser addons that heavily interrogated your owned items, typically causing a "429 Too Many requests" IP ban after a mere half-dozen transactions. The ban can easily last 6 hours, and it auto-refreshes if you exceed the limit again during the ban.

According to findings on the ArchiSteamFarm github, extension developers will need to forcibly cap the number of matches returned to 2000 (via the "count" parameter), and introduce other delays so as to guarantee only 1 request every 4 seconds.

This is deliberate behavior on Valve's part. Until the addon devs update their code, you can't do a damn thing about it except change your IP and go back to using only the clunky, non-enhanced official Steam Client (which apparently isn't affected).

tl;dr... Change your IP.

my problem is that this is the first time this has happened to me simply by completing badges via the button provided by steam (buy the missing cards), that I make my purchases via the steam client, that I don't have a vpn and don't use any proxy.

Completing two badges (about 10 cards) is enough to put a restriction on me.

Even if it's very temporary, it's annoying during sales periods when badges give event cards.

The rate limit was turned up very aggressively the past few months.

what i experienced was, its been 1-2 weeks already. I can't see my inventory either.

By the way, if they can't take my money, I'm not going to cry

Simple, if it fails, it's not safe for you, your data, or your money. I'll never buy anything from the store again. I get hacked all the time, and the state authorities don't solve anything. Simple, don't buy anything, save yourself the trouble. The bad guys counterfeit, buy, and sell freely. Us regular users who've been here for years pay the consequences for others because they don't have real data security. Unfortunately, I don't blame them or accuse the server owners, since no one is safe from cybercrime. This is the fifth time it's happened to me, and I'm tired of it. I have all the security they offer, and it just isn't possible. I don't use a VPN, and it pops up every time they give away a trading card or a seasonal sticker.

If your account is getting compromised over and over, the security issue is not on Valve's end.
