Make sure your local version of CCXT is up to date. Check by comparing the output of ccxt.version to https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/blob/master/package.json#L3

OS: OS Catalina
Programming Language version: Python
CCXT version:1.25.93

I request 1 time for minutes the following requests: 

bitmex.load_markets(True)
bitmex.fetch_balance()
margin_balance = bitmex.private_get_position({'filter': bitmex.json({"symbol":"XBTUSD"})})


I never had a problem but now I soon find my self 403 forbidden to access bitmex. 
Did something changed from previous versions?

my friend, don’t tell me why and how. When I closed the programs from various terminal window. Some how some processes went on going. This was the problem. Having multiple instances running at the same time.

Bro you should have some donation link, the effort you put on a daily basis is unseen. turn off the computer, everything is back to normal. don’t know how the processes were in the back ground even though I ctrl - c them in the terminal… Thanks for your time. You are the best man.
