POE 2 Trade Live Search Not Working

"
You have a maximum of 20 concurrent live searches.

You have a maximum of 50 live searches attempts over 24 hours!

Meaning that if you change your mind on a filter (e.g. raise price, change stat filters etc.) 50 times over 24 hours you're going to be blocked!

The maximum attempts is the actual issue!


Good theory, but no. I have the same 7 tabs for 3 days. I open them every day and change maybe a couple a day maximum. I would never be able to get 50.
yeah i have the same issue

Well it's not a theory...
If you check your request in Firefox (I don't know where to see these in Chrome) you will see these in headers

X-Rate-Limit-Account
50:86400:3600
X-Rate-Limit-Account-State
87:86400:3600
X-Rate-Limit-Ip
15:60:60,30:60:300,45:120:3600
X-Rate-Limit-Ip-State
1:60:0,1:60:0,1:120:0
X-Rate-Limit-Policy
trade-websocket-request-limit
X-Rate-Limit-Rules
Ip,Account

Meaning, you have 50 requests every 86400 seconds (24 hours) and if you exceed that you get 3600 seconds timeout (1 hour). The state is where it's at meaning I did 87 requests in the last 24 hours and it blocks me for 1 hour.

The 1 hour timeout is kind of pointless because even if I wait that hour I will still be blocked for another hour next time I search unless at least 37 requests from more than 24 hours ago expire.

The IP limit is modest and really it's ok, the account limit is crazy low.

Also, after 6 hours offline it didn't get fixed.
It started with today. I have usually 5-10 live search.
This is an account block from the trade. Exactly the account! You can create a new one and check it.
The conditions for such a block have clearly changed since today from GGG, and he has an unprecedented long time.

P.S. Theory: I did a quick cheapening of so many items at the same time. It probably sent a lot of requests to the server. And here is the result. But how long will it last?

weird because i can't see those headers at all, from my analysis it's error code 1006 ('Abnormal Closure (no close frame; client-side only)'), but i was kinda lazy to fix it (changing device or/and internet connection)

although for me it's 1006 - it does looks like some kind of ban based on it's behaviour, is it time to end this league i guess?
same problem

Did you try it in Firefox? I'm not sure how you can see the response headers in other browsers.

Try this in Firefox: Inspect(F12) -> Network -> Press Activate Live Search -> Click the newly created request -> on the right side you have Response Headers.

They should be there if we're facing the same issue.
