files not showing - acd_cli sync reports over quota

[a5m0]

Suddenly all my files aren't showing up and acd_cli sync reports "This application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later."

Same here. I guess someone's abusing the service.

For the moment you could switch to your own security profile. See https://acd-cli.readthedocs.io/en/latest/authorization.html#advanced-users-security-profile. It does take a few (kind of confusing) steps to set up, and IIRC there were past reports of personal security profiles not being as fast as @yadayada's one for production, but I've been using my profile for a while on one of my machines and didn't notice any speed drop (upload speed goes up to ~300Mbps which is good enough for me). Now I'm switching the profile across the board.

Actually #391 is the same issue.

@zmwangx Am I seeing this wrong or did Amazon change access to the Amazon Drive API 20 days ago to be invite-only? Meaning you now can't create your own security profile unless you pass through the invite process.

Wow, the heck? Guess that's why I can't figure out how to whitelist just now (#392). Glad I have a working profile that predates this bullshit.

To be clear, I think you can still create security profiles, but maybe you need an invitation to get it whitelisted for ACD's API.

Not trying to be "one of those people"... but just thought it interesting that rclone (http://rclone.org/) works fine right now... so not sure what they are doing differently, but it might be worth looking into for acd_cli

Duplicate of #391. The problem is that there's an intermediary server that yadayada runs to do the app token refreshing and it's busted. We have to wait until he fixes it.

@KarmaPoliceT2 Amazon's whitelisting process for access to their API is application specific and traffic is tagged accordingly. If usage for one service (acd_cli vs rclone) spikes Amazon may start to throttle or deny access. It's happened before.

What's happening here is the GAE app (for OAuth) being throttled. It's not Amazon's problem.

looks like it's working again
