 * Hi.
 * I deleted Data Storage in General Settings as there were large files.
 * However, I lost my API key by the way.
 * When I click Generate API Key, I get the following error:
 * SUCURI: We notice that the IP 66.248.203.18 has already requested the API many
   times. Wait few hours to request more.
 * This is not my IP.

 * I’ve been getting the same issue for well over two months.

 * Same here. I have just migrated my website to a different hosting, and since 
   then I am getting the message you pasted, with that very IP (not mine, either).

 * Today I was finally able to get a new API key. I suggest you write to [info@securi.net](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-generate-api-key/info@securi.net?output_format=md)
   telling them your domain and admin e-mail, so that they can send one to you.
