Too many attempts — try again later
Too many password-verify attempts in the current window (429). Wait and try again later.
Why this happens
rateLimitDownloadGrantMint applies to password verify (often with a fileId:pw bucket) and shares the grant-rate family with Create download link. Defaults are on the order of tens of attempts per ~10 minutes per IP/file.
Diagnose and fix
1. Visitor: wait for the window to reset, then enter the correct password once.
2. Admin: raise Grant rate limit per IP / per file (download_grant_rate_ip, download_grant_rate_file).
3. Confirm proxy IP is correct so one shared NAT does not burn everyone’s budget.
4. Distinct from captcha attempt limits and comment rate limits.
