I think it's a dupe of T262691: High numbers of HTTP 429 errors though

Now here at the current time, the iOS app works fine, and the Android app starts getting 429 errors. I wonder whether there was a rollback or something, or the server just magically recovered by itself. The issue (other than 429) did exist couple of hours ago. I suspect that this is a problem that arises during WMF's attempt of solving the HTTP 429 incident.
