To keep the service fast for millions of players, Modrinth enforces a <strong>per-minute request limit for each IP address<\/strong>. Cross that limit and the API starts answering with <strong>HTTP 429 \u201cToo Many Requests\u201d<\/strong> responses. When the app receives a burst of those 429s, it shows the \u201cToo many API errors; temporarily blocked\u201d message and pauses requests from your machine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; color: #333333; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0 0 25px 0;\">The key word is <strong>temporarily<\/strong>. The limit works on a rolling window \u2014 once your request count drops back under the threshold, the block evaporates on its own.
