Error in external monitor SplatNet3Monitor: Too many attempts to authenticate at checkUseLimit

Is this a common error that still has to be patched or am i doing something wrong?

nxapi has a limit on the number of times it will attempt to authenticate to Nintendo's APIs without interaction as a safety feature; this should reset after an hour. There should be previous error messages with more detail showing why those authentication attempts failed. (Usually the secondary account doesn't have access to SplatNet 3, either because it doesn't have an active NSO membership or has never opened Splatoon 3, or recently Nintendo stopped allowing older versions of SplatNet 3 to authenticate (#34).)

Also, how are you running nxapi? This shouldn't happen in the Electron app as pressing retry in the error dialog is considered user interaction and ignores the limit. If you're using the nxapi command it should also ignore the limit if you're running it in a terminal.

Sorry for the late answer. I was running the electron app, but the issues has magically fixed itself. The secondary account does indeed not have NSO so maybe that was the issue.
