🐛 Bug Report: Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 1 column 1 [RATE LIMITS]

[arch-btw]

Describe the bug

This error is currently being displayed on all instances.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Go to any instance and it will say:

Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 1 column 1 | /r/popular/hot.json?&raw_json=1&geo_filter=GLOBAL

What's the expected behavior?

To display any Reddit page.

Additional context / screenshot

This started happening about 10 minutes ago.
The json file itself is still accessible by browser, so maybe the structure changed?

Also experiencing this suddenly.

Same here, I think it’s global somehow. I suppose either they changed something on reddit’s end and/or… they’re onto us?

I can reproduce, I tried a restart of redlib which somehow fixed it for a short while, about 10 minutes, but then it came back. Maybe a slow rollout of a change on Reddit's side could cause that?

I'm seeing this as well on my own instance and on public instances. I tried restarting Redlib but it didn't help.

I've also been experiencing this on my own instance. Restarting did seem to fix it, although I'm not sure if it will last.

Edit: Already not working again 15 minutes later.

[r7l]

Same here. But i can call the JSON manually and get a normal response with JSON being returned. Not sure if the JSON itself has changed.

Is anyone reproducing this locally (not on a public instance)? Or does this require heavy load to trigger?

It's happening on both my home instance and one on a vps. Both of which I'm the only one using them.

This is happening on my local instance where I'm the only user.

Happening on my single user instance which doesn't have much load at all.
