Unable to favorite and unfavorite games on my account

A “429” indicates that you are being throttled because too many favoriting and unfavoriting requests have been coming from your account. Typically this should only be triggered if you try to favorite or unfavorite more than 1000 games in a minute, which obviously would be hard to do manually. Can you confirm that you are still seeing this behavior now? If not, it may have just been a glitch in the throttling system and hopefully things will be good from now on. If you are still seeing the exact same problem, let us know and we will do some more investigation to try to figure out why you are being throttled all the time.

Yes that happens because you have hit the “rate limit”. It is common practice to enforce a limit on how many times a user can use an API to manage resources and prevent misuse. Your only option is to wait some time between favorites/unfavorites. This is not a bug its a feature. When this happens just wait a few minutes between each use of the favorite feature and it will work again then.

I thought this was because of an extension. Turns out to be not. I was trying to unfavorite all my games but after doing it for a bit, I am not able to.
I can legit guarantee that I haven’t been through 1000 games in that time span.

I cannot favorite, unfavorite, like, dislike, or unlike any game. I tried on mobile, and it will “like” it, but the like will not actually save; however, clicking the button on pc doesn’t even do anything. I don’t like games frequently, so I don’t know why I would be throttled

I’ve been having a near identical bug for several months also, however instead of not being able to favourite/unfavorite I’m unable to like or dislike games, and there’s no error in the chrome console.

Could this please be fixed? I am not able to unfavorite Outlaster for some reason. If I add this game again to my favorites it would show double. I would like to remove Outlaster completly from my favorite list.
