 * The HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status code indicates the user has sent
   too many requests in a given amount of time (“rate limiting”).

 * This is an ongoing issue, FWIW. It’s been reported several times.

 * Hi,
 * There’s an ongoing issue with a lot of malicious traffic originating from the
   Chinese region. This is making the WordPress.org security systems limit connectivity
   from affected areas, and unfortunately also negatively affecting legitimate users.
 * We’re actively monitoring the situation, and are looking into ways to remedy 
   this for real users, but due to how internet traffic is routed it’s not something
   that is likely solved quickly.
