Why do I receive a "Too many requests" message?

The "Too many requests" message indicates that you have reached the rate limit set by Instacart. This limit is in place to ensure fair usage and protect the security of your Instacart account.

When you receive the "Too many requests" message, it means that Insta Helper has temporarily paused its batch fetching cycle for a brief period, usually 2 minutes, to prevent any potential issues with Instacart's security measures. After the pause, Insta Helper will automatically resume fetching new batches.

Receiving the "Too many requests" message is a normal occurrence when there is a high volume of batch requests being made within a short period. It's important to note that this message is not indicative of any problem with Insta Helper or your account. It simply means that the rate of batch requests has exceeded the allowed limit.

To avoid encountering the "Too many requests" message, it's recommended to use Insta Helper responsibly and avoid excessive refreshing or requesting of batches. Allow Insta Helper to work within the rate limits set by Instacart to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted experience.

By following these guidelines, you can minimize the chances of encountering the "Too many requests" message and continue using Insta Helper effectively.
