These issues and PRs concern the default cooldown period applied to credentials after a 429/403 response, with proposals to reduce it from 1 hour to a shorter duration and to make the TTL configurable rather than hardcoded. A specific concern is raised about single-credential pools being left unusable for the full cooldown period with no fallback.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.18: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
