I knew I shouldn’t have put that log line ! That’s no problem, just add "map_object_cache_time": 5, in your config

@Marco208 That’s Niantic’s rate limiting…the problem isn’t the throttle, especially now that MoveToFort is remembering what fort it was last moving past; the problem was honestly just the noise.

I’m getting this too, one commit ago it seemed to work perfect. Reverting back untill this commit is fixed.
