I'm seeing this as we speak, when trying to read random articles on zhwiki.
I'm also seeing intermittent cirrussearch-too-busy-error when searching (on all wikis).

Thanks for filing this @LGoto
I have replied to the zh.wiki users who reported this issue.

They were a couple reports on the Wikimedia Discord about this affecting searches in the main namespace.

We have received a large number of reports from users that the application shows error code 429.
Do we have any way of fixing the issue (maybe remove the ratelimit?) cc @Pchelolo @JoeWalsh @Charlotte
Note: change the ticket to Unbreak Now!.

Removing the ratelimit would be a temporary fix, if it would fix the issue at all. Have we any idea what the root cause of this is, and why it only seems to be affecting zhwiki?

There’s a comment from @Pchelolo
“ratelimit was added to mobile-html with non-standard language variant due to an outage caused by on-the-fly transformation of the variants in parsoid.“

Users should not get 429s anymore, lowering priority to high while waiting for confirmation. For the deeper issue I'll have a conversation with @Pchelolo about related restbase topics later this week.

OK, we'll take a look at getting this figured out. @Pchelolo , let's consult on what's needed.

The swap of Traffic for Traffic-Icebox in this ticket's set of tags was based on a bulk action for all such tickets that haven't been updated in 6 months or more. This does not imply any human judgement about the validity or importance of the task, and is simply the first step in a larger task cleanup effort. Further manual triage and/or requests for updates will happen this month for all such tickets. For more detail, have a look at the extended explanation on the main page of Traffic-Icebox . Thank you!
