My Issue
I literally only started getting these randomly, I made no changes, and it was working fine earlier. This is the first time I've seen an error about the map failing to download and the Status Code 3 error.

I would recommend stopping the service, and rebooting it in an hour. If the problem persists, post back. This is most likely a connection error related to the number of accounts you are currently using, but I'd be interested to see whether the problem still exists after a pause.
Even though it's throwing up these Status code 3 errors, Pokémon appearing on my map just fine. As far as I can tell its just spamming my console.
status code 3 means you have to accept the ToS, which the program then automatically does. Should usually happen only on new accounts, maybe they are introducing updated ToS.
Does it show the error only once per account or does this persist over a longer timeframe?
Same has been happening to me. Everything was working fine until this began today. All my accounts accepted ToS weeks ago.
@hoeguard my box has been offline for 3 hours prior to restarting, still getting the same errors
You might take a look at this resource: https://github.com/MRokas/PogoPlayer However, without being able to reproduce the error, I'm not sure why it is occurring.
I actually already ran that with all my accounts, still getting Status code 3 returned. Performing get_player request.
Stolen from reddit:
according to /u/Tr4sHCr4fT the API is returning "Status=3" to all requests after the player data is returned from the get_player() function. Hence the data error as it isn't receiving what it needs to be returned to function properly and doesn't know how to handle it so errors out. Interestingly the only other instance of a status 3 being returned is when the ToS message is displayed for new accounts, which would suggest it is trying to return data related to the ToS (possibly ToS violation message). This is increasingly looking like a ban, with some PTC accounts being able to even re-create their accounts with the same username. Anyone who was able to do this will have probably had the second error I messaged referencing "Player information". I think they have added this and the next actual app update will have handling for it to show an account termination error window.
Looks like account bans which isn't surprising considering there's a ban wave going on 😞
How many accounts you running? It may be just only a couple are banned, so the effect is almost insignificant. It started this way for me, only occasionally getting the error and my scan unaffected by it, now my scan barely progresses and I get a Status Code 3 every second or so.

but if it is an account ban, why haven't my scans slowed down

Same issue facing at my side, I already stop for 5hours and still getting this. Niantic start hard banning the PTC accounts? i have around 200 of them running in this batch, not sure which account affected, maps still showing up pokemons for the first 10-15mins, then all gone.
Is it scanning toofast? How to set a delay?
Is there any way to isolate which specific accounts are causing the error to more closely examine them? I have several accounts giving me the error. Not sure which ones though.
@joeubi Experiencing the same, the longer I leave it running the more and more frequent the error gets, and the slower the scan gets.
Seen a lot of posts of Reddit and that about other people running mappers getting bombarded with Status 3 too, so it's not just isolated to pogom.
Its seeming more and more likely that these error is thrown when an account gets banned.
im getting same errors with most recet pogom version. when im running previous (~10days old) im getting all successful logins logs - so it doenst seem to be a ban thing. but with same older version i keep getting "map dowload failed" errors.
I just pushed a hotfix that will print the account name and a warning. In the future this should also remove the account from the rotation.
Lost a total of exactly 10 accounts of my 60. What changes can be made to make it harder for Niantic to detect our accounts and ban them?
i updated the source, did a test and saw the accounts are propably banned. logged in on a ipad with it..
failed to get game data from the server.
so indeed they are banned
https://github.com/Kitryn/PTCAccount2 This is the best replacement I find for Pikapy. Works really well! Just set each account up with throw away email.
60 accounts not having them stockpiled because this would inevitably happen
Im having a similar problem, no pokemons on my scanner (5 workers) since yesterday, only "Received valid response but with out any data. Possibly rate-limited?" error on console
But, the accounts are not banned, using the android app Pokealert with the same 5 accounts work just fine. Also I can log on them and see/capture pokemons
ok i know what was MY problem, yesterday in "chile" we have the daylight saving time clock change, somehow that fucked up the map. i rolled back the time change and everything is working fine.
PD: Moving the time foward again, make pokemons stop appearing on the map
PD2: the error "Received valid response but with out any data. Possibly rate-limited?" was long gone before the time change fix, the scanner was working normally (on console) but pokemons didnt appear
Not sure if this helps. I was having the exact same issue. I logged into both the accounts I was using for Pogom on my app and ran through the tutorial. Once done I relaunched the script and so far now issues.
This is getting worse and worse, started at getting a couple account bans each day. Now I'm getting an IP softban and mass amounts of account bans every couple of hours.
