Hello!
Uhh, it happened AGAIN at Asia 10:30 August 22 2026. Im just searching for an existing search and its now blank AGAIN for a long period of time. I was searching the word: “Animal Hospital” but it was blank. At the past there were projects but now none? Same thing. No Nothing Found and No Results. Just Blank. (Screenshot Could Not Be Posted due its hard To.).

Can replicate and checked the Developer Console only to see it saying “429 Too many Requests”…

The odd part is that I have only searched up for specific projects and it still doesn't do anything…
Tried this on both Tor and Vivaldi and to my surprise, nothing else…

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 429 ()

Which means Scratch's Servers are rate limiting us incorrectly…
Someone should check the console too, this is such an odd occurrence…

I don't think its the correct one. What im (Or we) Talking about is that When we search something it sometimes doesn't show anything it doesn't say Nothing Found, It doesn't show results, just blank for a long period of time

I don't think scratch is trying to fix it at all

Pretty sure that post is a Dupe of the Original post. Regardless, these branches have been spiraling out of control to the point where something should be done.

Not exactly a Dupe because this issue actually started this year and month AND it takes forever to load and then only shows “Nothing Found”

I don't get it, why would I be rate limited from searching just when I did a search a day ago?

I have seen some solutions where you can search using google, but it's not 100% relyable…

It works for very popular terms, that's why you can input single letters and almost always get something.

It comes and goes, so you'll have to check often.
