Steam Inventory Error
I'm not sure if this is a problem for everyone else but for some reason the inventory isn't working for almost a week now. Clicking on the inventory through the desktop app and web page always gives the same error ;

" Error
Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later.

Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Reaperxox,

i've an error too, it said " Inventory unavailable for the moment, please try later "
When i've seen it for the first time ? At the beginning of the summer sale.

I've sent a request to the Steam support and they respond ( or a bot ) :
Server are full so we can encounter many error but they do nothing to fix this even communicate seems too hard...

You hit an API quota limit. This quota limit is IPv4 based. If restarting your router doesn't help, you'll have to wait it out.

IPv4 addresses are not unique anymore. As there are more humans (8 billion) than IPv4 addresses (4.2 billion), ISPs have chosen to route users together on an identical IPv4 address. This technique is known as CGNAT.

For Valve's community market API this bundled together group of users looks like a single user.

If you waited several days to weeks, your only recourse is getting a public IPv4 address. It doesn't matter whether this one is static or dynamic. Ask your ISP on how to obtain one.

Steam uses a distributed, sharded database system. The database shard your inventory is stored on is down or overloaded and therefore the necessary data cannot be loaded.

Please wait until the system employs backup shards or wait for the affected shards to come back online.
