I am trying to download streets from the Overpass API using a very simple Python script. This always worked just fine for me, until this morning when I started experiencing strange behavior. import requests url = 'http://www.overpass-api.de/api/interpreter' timeout = 60 data = '[out:json][timeout:60];(way["highway"]["area"!~"yes"]["highway"!~"cycleway|footway|path|pedestrian|steps|track|proposed|construction|bridleway|abandoned|platform|raceway|service"]["motor_vehicle"!~"no"]["motorcar"!~"no"]["access"!~"private"]["service"!~"parking|parking_aisle|driveway|private|emergency_access"](poly:"37.87539 -122.28873 37.87539 -122.26599 37.85736 -122.26599 37.85736 -122.28873 37.87539 -122.28873");>;);out;' When I post this request: response = requests.post(url, data=data, timeout=timeout) I receive status code 200 and the response data that I expect.

every single time (up to two days ago when I last tried it), but as of this morning I receive status code 429 (too many requests) every time I run it. I have tried this latter request from multiple computers and IP addresses, and I always get 429. While this response says "too many requests", I can immediately run the first request again and get status code 200 back. So it seems like I have indeed not actually made too many requests. Moreover, the API [status page](http://www.overpass-api.de/api/status) tells me I have 2 slots available at all times throughout this process. I have also tried increasing/decreasing my timeouts but there is no change (in fact, the server responds with the 200 or the 429 within a second or two each time). **Why am I suddenly receiving 429 for this query that always worked in the past?** Edit: Every similarly complex polygon I try also returns a 429. Every simple polygon I try returns a 200. In the past, every polygon (simple or complex) returned a 200 with no problem.

every single time (up to two days ago when I last tried it), but as of this morning I receive status code 429 (too many requests) every time I run it. I have tried this latter request from multiple computers and IP addresses, and I always get 429. While this response says "too many requests", I can immediately run the first request again and get status code 200 back. So it seems like I have indeed not actually made too many requests. Moreover, the API [status page](http://www.overpass-api.de/api/status) tells me I have 2 slots available at all times throughout this process. I have also tried increasing/decreasing my timeouts but there is no change (in fact, the server responds with the 200 or the 429 within a second or two each time). Why **Why am I suddenly receiving 429 for this query that always worked in the past?past?** Edit: Every similarly complex polygon I try also returns a 429. Every simple polygon I try returns a 200. In the past, every polygon (simple or complex) returned a 200 with no problem.

every single time (up to two days ago when I last tried it), but as of this morning I receive status code 429 (too many requests) every time I run it. I have tried this latter request from multiple computers and IP addresses, and I always get 429. While this response says "too many requests", I can immediately run the first request again and get status code 200 back. So it seems like I have indeed not actually made too many requests. Moreover, the API [status page](http://www.overpass-api.de/api/status) tells me I have 2 slots available at all times throughout this process. I have also tried increasing/decreasing my timeouts but there is no change (in fact, the server responds with the 200 or the 429 within a second or two each time). Why am I suddenly receiving 429 for this query that always worked in the past?
