Getting "APIRateLimited" response every time despite successful login

[mleibundgut]

I am able to successfully log in, but any other call like "somecomfort --devices" gives me a rate limited response. I can wait as long as I want - nothing changes. Below is the sample debug output:

raise APIRateLimited()
somecomfort.client.APIRateLimited: You are being rate-limited. Try waiting a bit.

Would be great if I could use the API - trying to get the temperature from the thermostat to lower my shades when it gets too warm.

Of note is that the HTTP error message does not mention rate limiting at all; it simply is a generic 401 (401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.

https://github.com/HubitatCommunity/HoneywellThermo-TCC seems to be a currently updated TCC client which has made some recent fixes — probably the same thing needs to happen with somecomfort.

I am also experiencing this problem. I downloaded the code Nov 19, 2020 for the first time.
I never overcame the problem trying to run Somecomfort by itself. However, I was checking it out as a baby-step towards installing the https://github.com/mjcumming/Somecomfort-Homie project to use with my OpenHAB install. I recently got that to work and it seems to be pulling the data it needs from Honeywell TCC using Somecomfort.

I was able to work around this problem by providing the --username and --password parameters every time.
