I came here to say i created a similar post because i was experiencing the same issue of not being able to live search, this could be a coincidence, but after updating my java runtime and nvidia drivers i can now live search again. Before this i tried clearing site data completely and even forgetting the poe website and this didn't seem to work nor did restarting my isp modem and router. VPN also did not work. I just wanted to trouble shoot whether or not it was related to my isp or IP. Have no idea why updating java or nvidia drivers would fix this kind of issue. All i know is after i did those two things and restarted my pc. I could live search again all of the sudden.	Posted by WALLE87#5020 on Sep 9, 2025, 7:28:35 PM Quote this Post
WOW. After 24 hrs of waiting it came fixed. Then i started to use market again as usual, i just changed the limit for buyout price since i got the extra divs to snipe an item, it went error again and saying "Rate-limiting is active for your account" You're making some people want to quit this game forever.

I tried logging in via my phone — got the same error there. I also tried logging in on my second device — same issue. However, on those very same devices, I created another account as an experiment — and it works perfectly. Live Search is fully available on that account without any restrictions. So think again — this is clearly not a shadowban xd	Posted by matreshhka#3007 on Sep 9, 2025, 8:37:40 PM Quote this Post
After 24 hours I could live search again, and guess what? Yes, after 30 min using it I GOT RATE LIMITED AGAIN, FF, I GIVE UP THIS LEAGUE.	Posted by Seris#0662 on Sep 9, 2025, 9:09:51 PM Quote this Post
