API Rate Limit Exceeded

[DemChupacabras]

My mod manager is telling me that "You've reached you daily and hourly limit. Try again in 18 minutes". I got this same message last night and assumed that by going to sleep and trying today it would have refreshed itself and I would've no longer been over the API limit, but apparently that isn't the case. Any help or advice would be appreciated as I would like to continue modding my games.

Hi there,

 

I can see you're using NMM and sending a lot of requests (this is, in part due to NMM not currently being fully optimised for the new API). If you frequently check your mods for updates that can burn through your requests very fast.

 

You have 2500 requests per day and once you use those up you get 100 per hour until the daily count resets (24 hours from the first download). Downloading and installing a mod can use 3-4 requests each and checking for updates (with NMM) may use 1-2 requests per mod.

 

I believe the NMM community team are looking to improve this in future updates, but I can only speak with certainty about Vortex.

 

Hopefully that helps you understand what is happening. For now I would suggest using the update check feature sparingly, if possible.

Ok thanks for letting me know, I'm not sure if I've been checking my mods for updates frequently but I have downloaded quite a few mods in the past few days.
