@nfife error 429 is too many requests. I think the API allows for 150 attempts or sth like that per hour. So... close the app, reboot the phone and Versa and wait an hour or two.

@nfife wait an hour or till tomorrow. This entirely might be an issue on their end. You can attempt using a different mobile device but attempts are measured per user I believe not device.
