I'll disable my integration for a couple hours before trying again, to see if I got temp blocked due to repeated requests.

[jim-downie]

New error (not out of quota request) - just responds with Blocked.

[matejhusek]

Same here, I think its a new issue...

[davebarrett1959]

Same here (UK based) . App allows access though.

[araemo]

I re-enabled my integration this morning, got prompted to re-auth, did the re-auth/re-captcha, and I'm in this morning.

[jcarroquino]

Same issue here since an hour ago. MyBMWAPIError due to HTTPStatusError: Blocked

[mibo-wb-gh]

Same here / Germany (rest of world)

[Focke84]

Same here, just "Blocked" Germany (rest of world)

[voyagerft]

In italy "Blocked"

[Auka84]

Same for me in Belgium :(

[SilencerNL]

Just got the same error here. Location The Netherlands.

[SGXander]

Here we go again: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/149750 To confirm: the workaround in this issue does not work now. http blocked occurs even if the string is randomised again. BMW if you're reading this: Please stop what you're doing and restore access to paying customers.

[Nickdejonghe]

Same problem, but it works perfect for my petrol BMW and not for my hybrid BMW. As soon as I retrieve information from the hybrid it requires re-authentication.

[DieterC1984]

Changing to unique user agent (other than official integration fix) also not working as solution for me

[mibo-wb-gh]

@DieterC1984 tried that as well, no joy :(

[RuiSSousa]

Same in Portugal.

Disabled for now. I will try again after midnight, but I'm afraid BMW is expending more resources in blocking paying costumers like us.

[renaudallard]

Same here, it was working fine, then stopped after I restarted HA

[SGXander]

As my logs are different from op, thought I'd post them:

Hard to tell from this if it's just actively blocked or the captcha has changed again or both.

[araemo]

I think they changed their request throttling. After leaving my integration disabled long enough for the quota to expire, it worked for about 2 and a half hours:

At 9:30 AM (EST) this morning I re-authed, and it was working At about 12:09 PM (EST) it started reporting errors due to quota and all the entities went back to unavailable:

Same here in Germany. As soon as I connect it authenticates fine and then within seconds it throws an error. Got a PHEV connected to it.

Same problem in The Netherlands. Hopefully there is a quick solution.

My Engie app informed me that API of BMW changed today and that I had to login again. So at least they were prepared for this. Wonder if there might be an Engie integration to read out my iX3 SOC 😂

[GSV3MiaC]

Blocked in England too. Bmw may make good cars but they are cr&p at software and supporting their customers. Guess my next ev will be Chinese.
