I will put on the todo list to give a better message in that circumstance - it is stated in the details of the response "why" the request failed, I should just detect that and give some better info in this circumstance. I have no idea as it was so long ago whether the other reason why requests fail that you were given a message about (hitting request limits) gives the same inner response message or not, so probably safest just to give two messages to the user of things they can try to do.
Understood, thanks for the clarification. In this case, it must have to do with expiry period since my machine hasn't changed and I haven't changed browsers or cleared cookies.
