The 429 error message would not clear from my screen; I had to reset my phone. I'm pretty sure that's first bug I ever encountered with RiF, and I used it for about a decade.

@talklittle thank you for all those years of an amazing app.

It's not really a bug, per say. 429 is the HTTP statuscode for "Too Many Requests", i.e. The API is not serving the request due to it hitting the rate limit (for the free tier in this instance). RIF is accurately displaying the status it's getting from the reddit API.

I think they meant that it wouldn't leave their screen even after they closed rif.
