Community Market 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."

This message pops up whenever I try to enter the Community Market. It’s been like this since yesterday. Anyone knows how to fix it? In the case it doesn't have a way to fix it, how long should i wait then? Thanks!

IP rate limit due to how the internet now works (too many people, not enough IP addresses). try changing your IP and hope that works or you have to wait and hope.

EDIT: had to find a post that explains it better

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.
