Keep getting "out of license" ERROR

[walsha2]

Have not had this issue before. Currently have an active pyarmor-ci license that is not expired and nothing has changed in our CI pipelines, but we are now randomly getting this error sometimes.

Is anyone else seeing these issues? @jondy is there anything that would cause this to start happening randomly now? We have not updated our dependencies, it just started happening today.

pyarmor                         9.1.9
pyarmor-cli-core                7.6.8

TLDR: No changes, but our CI license is now returning "out of license" ERROR

[walsha2]

To clarify, we run this for many packages and it works for a lot of them (using same CI license) but then will randomly stop working at one of the packages. So the license is valid and works... but seems to error out.

Is there some sort of rate limit for the CI license?

[jondy]

There is rate limit for CI license, don't run too many build pipelines in the sametime

[walsha2]

Thank you for the response but there are still a lot of questions here:

• What is the rate limit? What does "same time" mean? How close in time?
• Where is it documented?
• Why did this just start happening recently?
  • This is the same pipeline we have been running, with the same license - but we started seeing this issue 3 days ago.
  • Nothing changed on our end, but we are running into this now

Any details would be greatly appreciated.

There is mentioned for rate limit of CI license in the license type page, but there is no how many times per second, per day or per month.

The internet is out of our control, the internet route may be changed, there are many unknonwn things may result in network errors, so even request a few times, it may be wrong. Please take this into account to write build scripts.

After Pyarmor 9.2.0 is released, I may document the value of rate limits for CI License

• 1 per second
• 100 per hour
• 1000 per day

If one project need more, pyarmor team may need review this project.
