Valve had introduced some rate limiting algorithm on the old, traditional GetPlayerItems Web API, and that message is originated from that rate limit. We can make the error message clearer, but we can't seem to be able to figure out how their damned rate limit work, and how to make the queries more smooth so the system won't trigger that error that easily. Meanwhile you can try to access the same function again around 3 minutes later once you encountered that error.

Just to update, I also cannot withdraw my gifts to my inventory. This is quite a big problem. Hope it can be resolved soon but I understand it can be hard to work out.

Another update - seems this could be due to me replacing my stolen phone recently. Can't make a trade offer due to Steam Guard requiring a 15 days wait.
