Error downloading The Economist to MOBI format

[Kman]

I haven't had any problems downloading The Economist (weekly edition) for quite some time, until today. I get an HTTP Error 429 after what I think is the last article. Error info below.

Downloaded article: Lily Ebert lived to share her story of Auschwitz from https://www.economist.com/obituary/2...y-of-auschwitz

Just try again later I tried it just now and it worked.

I have a similar problem. Although I never previously had issues fetching the Economist weekly edition, I now get an HTTP Error 429, though my format is ePub and not MOBI. Still, that isn't relevant here.
