Inventory/Market locked
My inventory has been locked for at least 2 months, and I never used any tool or searched too much. It simply blocked one day...

What can I do here? Searched around and it recommended changed my IP address, but I even stopped accessing Steam for 1 month and it is still blocked...

Thanks for any tip!

Yep. You're suffering the woes of CGNAT.

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.

its the way the internet works now. too many people and not enough IP addresses. so now instead of you have your own IP address, you share it with others in the area.
