Getting the same issue. I had it working so well over the weekend!

[11/12/2024, 6:32:46 PM] [homebridge-blueair-purifier] Error getting initial device states: Error: API call failed after 3 retries with error: Error: API call error with status 229: , {"message":"There are too many calls, please try again later"} at BlueAirAwsApi.apiCall (/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-blueair-purifier/src/api/BlueAirAwsApi.ts:252:17) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at BlueAirAwsApi.getDeviceStatus (/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-blueair-purifier/src/api/BlueAirAwsApi.ts:148:18) at BlueAirPlatform.getInitialDeviceStates (/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-blueair-purifier/src/platform.ts:84:23) at HomebridgeAPI.<anonymous> (/homebridge/node_modules/homebridge-blueair-purifier/src/platform.ts:45:7)

Update - I increased the polling interval to 45000 (45 seconds). This is probably much more than what is required but it helped solve the issue for now. I'm guessing when I tried this last night that I was already at my max requests for the day. Probably need some trial and error to see what the new polling amount can be. Guessing BlueAir changed it to a higher threshold.

Yes, you must definitely has to wait after you get rate limited. Maybe I need to implement a logic to stop doing requests until a set time.

I had the same error all morning today. I was at 15000, then bumped it to 30000 -> 45000 -> 60000. It was still not working. I then went all the way to 300000 (5 mins) and the error went away after restarting the child bridge. I'll keep it this way for now.

[kovapatrik]

Keep in mind you have to wait for a set amount of time before the rate limiting lifted from you (I don't know the exact time as this is set by the Blueair servers). So I wouldn't handle your case as a fact.

Oh! I see. I didn't take that into consideration, you're right! 🤦🏻‍♂️
