"You've made too many requests recently. Please wait and try your request again later." Keep getting this error for a week now.
Can't access inventory on Steam PC, But can access it on mobile so something is messed up. Can anyone tell me what it is and how to fix it.

IPv4 addresses are not unique anymore. As there are more humans (8 billion) than IPv4 addresses (4.2 billion), ISPs have chosen to route users together on an identical IPv4 address. This technique is known as CGNAT.[en.wikipedia.org]

For Valve's inventory and community market API this bundled together group of users using CGNAT or Dual Stack Lite looks like a single user.

If you waited several days to weeks, your only recourse is getting a public IPv4 address. It doesn't matter whether this one is static or dynamic. Ask your ISP on how to obtain one.

If you already have a public also known as dedicated IPv4 address, you should stop spamming inventory actions.

Thanks for the clarification, so if I change my dns in IPv4 address it should fix this problem for me? Let me just try it and get back to you.

When I use my mobile connection in my laptop my inventory opens up without a hitch. Sadly my wifi is down currently due to heavy wind and rain in my area so I can't test changing dns as of now.

changing DNS does not change your IPv4 address. The IPv4 address is assigned by your provider

ask your ISP for a public IPv4 address. If they refuse to assign you such, then you can't fix it.

I've had the same problem for a few weeks now, it clears up for a while but then it starts again, for example right now I've been waiting since last night (more than 12 hours) to use the market.
