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 are behind Dual Stack Lite (shared IPv4 address, dedicated IPv6 prefix), temporarily disable IPv4 on your system after you made sure IPv6 support is enabled in your router to force Steam to use IPv6. Undo this step after you finished using the market or inventory (you will have to redo it every time you use either). Do not use this as a permanent solution because not every service on the internet did implement IPv6 support yet.

If you already have a public also known as dedicated IPv4 address, you should stop spamming inventory actions.
So i should restart my router?
Yeah try that first to see if it fixes the issue..
nope it still doesnt work
Don't keep spamming it, just come back tomorrow instead. Read the last part in your OP.

If you're sharing IP address with multiple people, example doing it at a school, library, cybercafe, or etc... likely people spam steam, and cause the cooldown on that IP address.

Ah ok, then what I can suggest is few things.

- Try this open CMD as administrator do each line one at a time, until finish and restart PC.

netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns

- Reboot modem and router, or factory reset if done things you don't know what settings you changed.

- If using custom DNS, or Proxy/VPN compare to your other devices, ensure that not the issue.

- If using pi-hole, or custom firewall, or anything mess with protocols, ensure that not the issue.

Have you tried doing this from browser? First make sure browser cache clear before visiting steam, and maybe do this tomorrow to ensure not on a server cooldown.

Then you're behind CGNAT or Dual Stack Lite. Ask your ISP to give you a dedicated (aka public) IPv4 address, or, if you have IPv6, force Steam to use IPv6 to get around this issue. How this works has been quoted by Miamew.
